Details of Event
Deceased was taking an empty tram along a level, riding most probably on the front, when his horse was heard to start galloping. In passing over the pointers of a parting the tram jumped off the rails and crushed deceased to death against the side. The horse had not been known to bolt before, and had been well broken in to the work.
