James Stuttard and Co., Albion Mills, Gaythorn, under the Factories' Regulation Act. The charge was made by Mr. Grahame, sub-inspector for this district. It appeared that there was an unfenced shaft in the factory yard, and that a young person named Bridget Massey had lately lost her life by it. - Mr. Greaves, surgeon, proved that the shaft was unfenced, and that near it was a tub, to which the hands were in the regular habit of going to obtain water.-A penalty of £10 was inflicted.[1]
