WORKMAN'S DEATH. [THE PRESS Special Service.] WELLINGTON, January 21. - An inquest concerning the death of Henry Thomaa Patterson, who died in the Wellington Hospital yesterday week shortly after his admission, with both his legs badly crushed as the result of his having been caught in a mixer at the Gasco Briok Company's works at Miramar, was held to-day. The evidence was to the effeofc that Patterson evidontly stood np on either side of a mixer for the purpose of oiling a bearing which was just above the machine, and that in getting down from this position he slipped his foot into it. It was necessarv to dismantle the machine partly in order to e*tncate him, and this operation occupied an hour and twenty minutes. The Coroner returned a verdict of accidental death.
