Details of Event
Deceased was running a loaded tub down a wheel brae. A large link in the chain jammed on the brake stick and the consequent jerk caused the wheel tree to give way at the foot although it had been sunk about four inches into the pavement. The wheel or the tree struck deceased causing injuries which terminated fatally two days later.
