Mr. David RHYS, the Divisional Coroner held an inquest on Monday at Penarth into the death of Albert FISH, (19) of Lewis-road, Llandough, at Llandough Saw Mills. Leonard BARRETT, of 70, Oak-street, Cardiff, stated that he saw FISH going into the belt race, which was a small pit about two feet square situated under ground, to adjust a belt which had slipped. Witness shouted to him "Wait a minute, I will stop the engine", but no notice was taken. Witness ran to the engine room where he heard a crash, and the engine stopped. Upon investigation he found FISH jammed between the pulley shaft and the belt. William TROTT, of 20, Hewell-street, Cogan, engineer at the works, said he had left his machine unattended for two minutes. It was evident that during that time FISH visited the engine room, and took away some tools to replace the belt. It was the custom always to stop the machine when belts were being adjusted. Dr. JACKSON said that death was instantaneous. The Coroner returned a verdict of "Accidental death," and exonerated the employers from blame. The proceedings were watched by Mr.G. LYON, H.M. Inspector of Factories; Mr. H.H. HASLAM, on behalf of the employers; Mr. W.H. DAVIES, on behalf of an interested party; and Mr. G.N. HOWELL, on behalf of the relatives. Dr. SIXSMITH, of Barry giving evidence at the inquest on Monday on William BASSETT, a Barry Dock-man, who was last week discovered by his wife in his bedroom with his throat cut, said the wound was self inflicted, the man not being responsible at the time. The coroner returned a verdict accordingly.
