Details of Event
Deceased was missing, but his pony, coupled to one full tub, stood in the flat. When the tub was moved deceased fell from the side on to the rails behind it. He was dead, his neck being broken. The pony had only moved a few yards. Evidently he had fallen off the limbers shortly after the tub started, or was trying to get on to the limbers when the pony was in motion.
