Kingfisher Victorian Garden Lamp connections

Hi
We had recently bought a replacement Victorian Style Mains Lamp(old one broke when a small tree fell on it).
Instruction manual's electrical connection diagram is very dark and difficult to make out.
But it has an Earth wire coming from top of the unit and there is another earth wire attached to a screw in the base of the unit.
Feeding wire comes from underground and has got a Live+Neutral+Earth wires.
It looks like a simple Live to Live/Neutral to Neutral/Earth to Earth connection is all it needs.But the circuit trips when I do it.
Not sure how the earth wire at base needs to be connected.
Please help.

Seems like there might have been more damage when the tree fell on it than you can see. If you do not connect the light and then turn on the power, does it still trip?0
