A dreadful accident occurred on Wednesday last, by which a man named Keats lost his life. The party of men engaged on the Haven Road were digging down a portion of the hill near the Custom House, for the purpose of getting material for the surface of this excellent work, when a slip took place which completely buried Keats, and fell also on two others named Sharman and Mansell. Nearly ten minutes elapsed before Keats could be extracted, when life was found to be extinct. Sharman had the small bone of a leg broken and Mansell escaped with a sprained ankle. Deceased left a wife and one child.
