Death of a Carlisle Butcher
Liverpool Echo, Sept 23rd 1892
AWFUL DEATH OF A CARLISLE BUTCHER
A butcher named Henry NORMAN, who was engaged in boiling the bones of horses at a knackery at Durdar, near Carlisle, died yesterday, at the Cumberland Infirmary from the result of scalds.
He was kneeling on the edge of a huge vat of boiling bones, for the purpose of taking some out, when he slipped and fell in, burning his left side terribly.
He clambered out, and in his agony, rushed into a pond nearby, twice up to his neck. The deceased was only 24yrs of age and came to Carlisle from Glasgow 9mths ago to work at the knackery.
