Enslaved men repaired the walls of New College after it had burnt down. The wall ultimately fell and killed a student.
Partial Transcript: "In 1831, while the workman were engaged in undermining one of the walls of the burnt College, which it will be remembered as four stories high, a young man was lying on the grass at a safe distance from the wall as he supposed, watching the progress of the work, when suddenly it fell and crushed him to death."
