Convict Notes
Fatal Accident at Mousehold. —On Monday week the Coroner for the city of of Norwich (E. S. Bignold, Esq.), held an inquest at the Marquis of Granby, Pockthorpe, on the body of its landlord, John Mackley, aged 56, who died on Sunday morning from the effects of injuries he received on Friday morning by falling from a brick clamp on Mousehold. John Macley, son of the deceased, said that his father, besides being a publican, carried on the business of a brickmaker, in which he (witness) assisted him. On Friday morning last about half-past seven, deceased and witness went to their clamp on Mousehold to make preparations for setting it. Both mounted to the top of the clamp to put on the boarding— deceased on one side and witness on the other. While deceased was thus employed, the ridge upon which he stood gave way, and he fell to the ground, a distance of 16 feet. His son at first thought he was dead, but in ten minutes he recovered consciousness, and Mr. Parker lent his gig to convey him home. The fall was accidental.— Mr. J. Allen, surgeon, was called in, and found that deceased was bleeding freely from the right ear, as if he had fallen upon his head. Deceased's right side and hip were much bruised, and most of his right ribs were fractured. He was dangerously ill, as one of the lungs had been punctured by a portion of a fractured rib. Mr. C. Williams, surgeon, was called in to consult with Mr. Allen, so that deceased had every possible care and attention. On Sunday morning deceased died from the effects of these injuries.— The Jury found a verdict of Accidental death. Bury and Norwich Post, 28 Aug 1877.

The Jury found them both guilty. There was a previous against Mackley; he had been five times in custody, four of them being felony. Mackley was sentenced to seven years transportation, and Skoyles, from the good character he had received, to one month's imprisonment. Norfolk Chronicle, 8 Aug 1840
