• Notes

  Fatal Accident at Akaroa. A man named Edward Tozer, working at Messrs Saxton and Williams' saw mills, Robinson's Bay, near Akaroa, met with his death last Monday, the 13th inst., in a painful and distressing manner. While employed in getting a heavy log out of the bush, preparatory to its being dragged to the tramway leading to the mill, he and his mate, a man named Kingston, proceeded to cross-cut it, in order to facilitate its descent from the top of a cutting where it had fallen. The log was, as usually done, propped up and jammed while the saw was being put through it; but some contretemps occurred when the saw was nearly through, the log suddenly started from its place, bounded downwards, and crushed Tozer, who held the lower end of the saw; death was instantaneous. An inquest was to be held on the remains by the Coroner, Mr Pilliett, on the 14th. Deceased was a hard working labouring man, much esteemed by his employers and neighbours, and leaves a wife and family totally unprovided for.
