Shockingly mangled

As Mr. Hadland, who kept a shop in Holborn for the making of sausages, was feeding the steam-engine with meat, his apron caught one of the cogs of the machine, which drew him in; and before the engine could be stopped, he got entangled in the wheels, and was crushed to pieces: he had his arms, legs, and thighs broken, and his flesh shockingly mangled.

In this dreadful state he lived until Thursday morning, when death put an end to his misery.
