KILLED IN A LIFT
AUCKLAND, May 8. At the inquest concerning the death of the hoy William Brewer, who was killed in a lift on the premises of Smith and Cangfaey, the evidence showed that the lift was protected on the floor where the accident occurred by a bar 3 feet 6 inches high, which was in position at the time of the fatality, and a lower bar, which was not in position. An inspector of machinery stated that a bar 3 feet G inches high met the requirements of the Act. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death, and added a rider recommending an amendment of the Act, a bar 3 feet C inches high being regarded no insufficient protection.
