William Harrington Hore, carrier, residing at 188, Macquarie-street South, deposed that the deceased was his father-in-law, and was 51 years of age; he had not personal knowledge of the circumstances connected with the death of the deceased; he was a man of sober habits, and witness last saw him alive at his own residence some two or three days previous to his death; he knew at that time that the deceased was working at Dalton’s Wharf. Dr. Joseph Patrick Kealy, residing at Argyle-place, deposed that he examined the body of the deceased and found a fracture of the skull on the right side, and a wound on the head about an inch long, caused by the depressed fracture; the cause of death was fracture of the skull due to external violence. James George O’Brien, stonemason, residing at No. 16, Beaufort-street, deposed that he was employed as foreman of works at the new stores in course of erection at Dalton’s Wharf; he knew the deceased, who had been employed at the stores as foreman of a gang of men; about a quarter-past 9 o’clock on Saturday morning the deceased gave instructions to some of the labourers to turn over a stone; the dogs were fixed to the stone, and an attempt was made to hoist it with a crane, but the jib fell and struck the deceased on the head, killing him on the spot; witness ran and got a cab for the purpose of taking the deceased to the hospital, and was assisting to carry him to the cab when the doctor arrived and pronounced life to be extinct; witness afterwards examined the crane, and found that the cog-wheel had broken, thereby causing the jib to fall; he afterwards examined the broken cog, but could find no flaw in it, or anything to indicate weakness; it was very cold on Saturday morning, and he attributed the breaking of the cog to the low temperature. To a juror: The stone which the men attempted to turn over weighed about 4 tons; the lifting power of the crane was 4 or 5 tons; the chain was not broken. Similar evidence was given by a seaman named George Clark, who was employed as labourer on the works. The jury returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased died from injuries accidentally received through the jib of a crane falling upon him.
