FRIGHTFUL SCAFFOLD ACCIDENT.-011 Satin%l
about noon, several men were employed upon some se:
folding erected in front of a house in Sellington-strel
Vauxhall-road. It appears that a cornice, which had
just been fixed near the summit of the building, suddenly
gave way and :fell upon the scaffolding and workmen;
The former was in consequence broken away, and t 7
unfortunate men with it were precipitated to the groan:"
Several persons who witnessed the occurrence ran to the
assistance of those beneath the fallen mass, and five VI
dividuals were, in a short time, removed therefrom, to,
appearance dead or dying. The first was a female w
name was ascertained to be Clack, and, on her bel
conveyed to a surgeon's it was discovered that she 11,
escaped with only present deprivation of consciouenn
and a few slight bruises by some of the materials
upon her as she was passing underneath. She was inds
short time enabled to proceed to her own residence, I_3'
the unfortunate men, named George Goodman, inj
forty; George Goodman, jun. (son of the former),
seventeen; Thomas Goble, aged thirty-four; and Willn„,
O'',
Baker, aged forty, were so much injured, that no •
was lost in conveying the three former to St. George
Hospital, and the latter to Westminster Hospital, wilero
they remain with at present but slight hopes of their re.:
covery. The cause of the catastrophe is stated to be;
its origin in the dense humidity of the weather, whiep
did not permit the work to set sufficiently to bear its ovi
weight.
