Killed on the spot

This morning, William Winterpen, a bricklayer‘s labourer, was at work repairing the roof of a house in Richmond; just as he got to the top of the ladder, he fell backwards into a wheelbarrow, and was killed on the spot. The woman, whose house was repairing, dreamed two night previously to the accident, that the deceased fell from the top of her house into a wheelbarrow. She told him her dream the next morning, and was continually cautioning him to take care, till the fatal accident happened; it is rather remarkable that he had used a hod to fetch his bricks in till that day, when he got a wheelbarrow.
