ACCIDENT IN FENCHURCH - STREET.—Yesterday
afternoon a frightful accident happened in Fenchurch-
street. A man named James Minter, about 37 years of
age, was engaged in fixing a painter's staging in front of
the house at the east corner of Billiter-street and Fen-
church-street. The ropes supporting the platform were
secured round some balustrades on the roof, about a foot
from the copinnd the stage had been raised some 30 or
40 feet from the ground, when the balustrades gave way
and the whole came down with a fearful crash on to the
pavement and roadway. Minter sustained such severe
injuries that he died on his way to the London Hospital.
Another man and a lad who were employed about the
work were also hart. Two gentlemen who were on the
pavement passing by at the time had a very narrow
escape of being struck down.
