The lift was sent up with a light load, and upon reaching the second floor the chain broke, in the lift were a boy and a man named William Kitchen. The former escaped with a few bruises but the latter was horribly mangled, and died instantly. Both thighs were broken, and ihe stomach torn open, and a ghastly wound on the head. It is not at present quite clear yet how Kitchen came to he killed, while the boy was merely bruised ; but it in probable that he wan crushed against the timber in the descent.
