Details of Event
He coupled an empty hutch on at the bottom of a face brae, and when it had gone a few feet the chain broke about 8 feet from the hutch. The hutch ran back and caught the deceased. The chain was 8 in., and appeared to be quite good, but as there were one or two joining links in it probably one of these gave way.
