FATAL ACCIDENT.

» X accident which terminated fatally occurred yesterday to a labourer named Tames Halligan. The deceased was employed working in the Mount Eden quarry, when raddenly a large stone of nearly a ton weight fell upon the unfortunate man, striking him on the abdomen. He was at once conveyed to the Provincial Hospital and placed under proper medical treatment, but never rallied. He died within two hours after his admission. It is rather a singular circumstance that Halligan about a year ago had his leg; broken by the falling of a stone at the very same B pot. An inquest will be held at the Hospi tal to-morrow, at two o'clock, before Dr. Philson.
