BOY KILLED - INQUEST

On Monday last, an accident occurred that terminated with

instantaneous death, to a boy named Thomas Flintoff, 14 - 15

years, son of Mr. William Flintoff, of the George the Third Inn,

Brook Street, at the premises of Mr. Allsup, engineers, & Co.,

Lower Pitt Street. At the inquest at the Police Station, a verdict

of 'accidentally killed' was recorded.

He, along with another boy, were carrying a heavy metal pipe

near the planing machine. The deceased, who was going backwards,

was caught by a wheel on the planing machine, which crushed his

back and ribs dreadfully. The boy who was with him threw off the

wheel strap and stopped the machine, but when he was released he

only breathed two or three times and then expired. Efforts to

save him were to no avail.
