Opinion of Mr. Snuggs
& Mr. Morgan, as to
Cause of AccidentThe principal cause of the failure of the Building was the
party wall and the Hall Wall not having been Bonded
together, but that such defect might have been known

(The opinion of Mr. Robert Garton< no role > )

Opinion of Robt.
Garton< no role > , as to Do.My opinion is that the cause of the Buildings falling, is from
not putting up Story Posts & Bresummers on ground floor, and
not Shoring the floors properly to support the floors with
the Bricks and Rubbish that was continually laid on and
taking down the part between the projecting parts without
putting any Shores under the floors where the parts was
taken down.
