Details of Event
Deceased was sitting on the cross-bar of an empty train drawn by a horse when some small stones from between the laggings of some double timbers fell on the horse’s back and caused it to spring forward. Deceased lost his balance and fell forward under the tram. He died in three days, having sustained a fracture of the spine.
