DENT AT THE WORKHOUSE CEMETAB
(From the Liverpool Mercury of yesterday.) fte
Yesterday morning it was very generally rees
that an accident, which had proved fatal to the lije
several indivicluils, had occurred at St. Mary's bud
ground, Netter known as the Workhouse Cem_.,e'l
situated in Cambridge-street. The facts of the
not warrant any such exaggeration, but we reps
say that one man has lost his life. It appears that
so
men, inmates of the workhouse, named James gsy
John Platt, were engaged in forming a grave ,e; fa
above cemetery. In consequence of the rain Wb"„ fa
en Sunday and Monday, the ground was in a very
and slippery state, so much so, that the joists or eTo
for the purpose of supporting the earth on each eidegoi
become loosened. One of the men named Jam"
about 55 years of age, descended for the purposed')
tightening them by means of screws ; he was rePe6t
cauiii:ned by his companion on the tip to take care iol

they did not give way, Shortly afterwards, or P-0
twenty minutes past nine, and while the unfortunate ID
was on the ladder for the purpose ofascending, the be sis
stays, earth, &c., suddenly fell in, completely burYillf

coffins, bones, &c., on each sid- t the depth of Woo
feet. John Platt very narrowly escaped the same ea
fortunately clinging to the top of a do -!r placed et

purpose of rescuing the unfortunate man but ;Sep
not until half past twelve o'clock that they succeeditio
reaching him, when he was found in the same Psiosil
as he had fallen, clinging to the ladder. It is
needless to say he was quite dead. The body
moved to the workhouse, and an inquest will be„4011

and industrious. He was well known to mauled fef
