Details of Event
Deceased had held a door open for his journey of nine trains to pass through, and was in the act of jumping on the last shackle, when he struck his head against the roof, and fell under the last tram. The drift was five feet high at this point and the speed of the journey did not exceed four miles per hour. He was the regular rider on this road.
