    "It appears that the deceased, who was a fine, manly young fellow, was engaged at the place mentioned on Thursday last with Messrs. B.Dwyer and J.Ferguson, and that one of the trees in falling struck another, and it is presumed a large splinter or branch becoming detached caught the unfortunate young man at the back of the right ear causing a very small wound, death being instantaneous. ... The deceased, whose age was between 18 and 19 years, was a lad of great promise, and a great favourite with all who knew him."
