2,38  Papers  relative  to  an  Accident 
half  in  diameter,  covered  with  lead  (communicating  with 
the  gutter)  and  reaching  within  twenty-eight  inches  of 
the  place  ftricken,  feems  not  to  have  been  at  all  affedted. 
The  method  we  would  recommend  of  preventing 
fimilar  accidents  to  the  parapet  of  this  building  for  the 
future  is  the  following.  Let  a channel  of  the  lame  lize 
with  the  cramps  be  made  from  cramp  to  cramp  in  the 
copeing  Hones,  quite  round  the  building:  let  this  chan- 
nel be  filled  with  lead,  and  let  a metallic  communication 
by  plates  about  fix  inches  broad  be  made  from  that  lead 
in  four  places  (one  at  each  fide  or  corner  of  the  parapet) 
to  the  filleting  of  lead  which  is  in  contact  with  the  gut- 
ter, which  gutter  is  part  of  the  main  conductor  to  the 
building.
