On Monday afternoon last, an accident occurred at Tewkesbury, which has caused a painful sensation throughout the counties of Worcester and Gloucester. The firm of Messrs. Rice and Sons, of Tewkesbury, consisted of the father and two sons, Richard and Henry, who dealt largely in corn and coal, and were extensive bost owners. the firm has warehouses on the quay at Tewkesbury. One of these is adjacent to the Star Inn, an old-fashioned house just over the bridge which leads across the New Avon to the Quay and the Ham. This warehouse has three rather low storeys, each of which forms one room, and it has somewhat the appearance of two cottages converted into a granary. It is an old place, but seems to have lately been partly re-built and put into good order. The three floors have large doors opening to the front for convenience of moving corn into or out of the building. the first floor is reached by a moveable ladder on the outside. It appears that on Monday there were about 1,000 bushels of whet stored on the first floor. No fears seem to have been felt as to the ability of the floor to sustain this enormous weight. The two stout beams which extended from one side of the building to the other and carried the joiists appeared quite sound and capable of bearing any quantity of grain that could be stored in the room above. One of these was of Oak and the other of deal, and both showed no signs of fault or shakiness.About half past two o'clock on Monday Mr.Henry Rice, after chatting with Mr.Prior, surgeon, and a group of other acquaintances went along Quay-street and entered the lower storey of the building. A foreman labourer named William Newman was in the same room, and another labourer named Scott. White, a boy, was in the room above, on the top of the wheat. Some string being wanted Scott was told to fetch some and he was just leaving the building when the first floor fell in with a tremendous crash. He was struck violently on the arm, and driven clear out of the door by the falling wheat. Mr. Rice and Newman were completely buried in the wheat, and the boy White came sliding down on the top of the grain towards the door. Scott extricated him in an instant, and made such an alarm that a considerable number of labourers, boatmen, and others were immediately collected, and they set about digging out the two unfortunate persons who were buried beneath the wheat and the ruins of the floor. It took about ten minutes to extricate the men, and when they were found it was disc, in the county of Gloucesterovered that life was extinct in both. Blood was flowing from the ears of Mr.Rice; and, as he had been extricated from under a beam, it was pretty plain that fracture of the skull had taken place. Newman had as evidently died from suffocation. The floor had about 27 tons of grain upon it, and this was heaped the highest about the centre of the room. The beams, though apparently strong and sound, were really ina bad condition. the deal one appeared to have lost much of its resinous quality, and had broken through about the centre without any great length of splintering. The oak one had a shaky portion which was concealed by whitewash before the accident, but which weakened its strength to a fearful extent. This beam had also broken through near the middle. On Tuesday the inquest on the bodies was held, and a verdict was returned, that Henry Rice died from a fractured skull; and William Newman from being suffocated in the wheat; and that both deaths were caused by accident. The jury recommended that the premises where the accident occurred sufficiently propped and cramped to render them permanently secure.
