Falconer, George on 10/04/1858 at Halfway, Irvine. Aged 40 years. In consequence of injuries received at Mr A. Stewart's Foundry [see below].


From the Ardrossan & Saltcoats Herald No. 177, 17/04/1858
Irvine
Serious Accident.—On Monday last, a workman, named George Falconer, engaged at Mr A. Stewart's Foundry, met with a serious accident, which, it is feared, will yet prove fatal. Whilst engaged in swinging round the jib of a crane, which had but lately been used in raising a beam of nearly four tons, the jib suddenly gave way, owing to the defective nature of the bolt which sustained it, and falling down struck Falconer, breaking both his legs—the left one in two places. Several of his ribs were also broken, and other internal injuries sustained, which preclude all hope of recovery. A quantity of sand lying in the immediate locality served, in some measure, to break the force of the fall, otherwise death would have been immediate. Had it given way when raising the heavy beam we shudder to think what the consequences would have been. How imperative it is for masters to examine minutely the state of their machinery, so that the lives of their workmen may not be placed in jeopardy.
