POISONED IN A SEWER. On Wednesday forenoon six men employed by the Liverpool Corporation, named Jacob Hatfield, 29, Thomas Holding, 32, Robert Parry, 18, Thomas Yonds, 24, William M'Neill, 27, and Robert Ball, 26, were taken to the Stanley Hospital in that city suffer- ing from poisoning by carbonic acid gas inhaled in a sewer. The boundary sewer has been undergoing re- pairs, and the men, with others, had gone down that morning about a quarter-past nine. Mr. Peters, sewage inspector, noticed a strong odour coming up the sewer, and sent down to see what was the matter. The men were found in a semi-conscious condition. Mr. Peters ordered all the men out of the .sewer, and the six men were carried up the ladder. A doctor was sent for, and in the meantime Police-constable 1033, a member of the St. John Ambulance Corps, and Mr. Peters rendered every assistance to the men. At the hospital all were found to be acutely suffering from poison. It has been suggested that the gas may have got into the sewer from a match manufactory. The mouth of the sewer has been covered with wet sacks to prevent the effluvia rising into the street.
