Details of Event
No one saw the accident happen but from the fact that deceased was found in a standing position between the side of a road and the first full tub of a set of four full tubs, it appears probable that his pony had stopped in a part of the road where there is very little space by the side of the tubs, and as he was going past the tubs the pony had started.
