DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—BRISTOL, TUESDAY, APRIL
28.—Vesterday afternoon a very severe accident, by which five men
were most seriously injured, occurred at the New Church, Kingswood.
The interior of the church has for some time been undergoing exten-
sive repairs, and was being entirely repainted, and the unfortunate
sufferers by this lamentable accident were painters engaged at the
time in painting the ceiling of the church. For this purpose, as is
usual, a plank was placed for the men to work upon. having each
end laid upon a scaffold erected for its support. Upon this plank four
men, Thomas Nash, William Kent, William Lambert, and James
Morgan, very incautiously went to work; it having been in-
tended by the employers that only one man, or at the most
two, should work upon It at the same time. The motions and weight
of the four men while at work upon the plank so increased its vi-

went to ascertain the cause, when he found the deceased running to

and the deceased was removed first to King's College Hospital,.
