Details of Event
Two wagons, about 2ft. 6ins. apart, were standing under the screens, one was empty and the other being filled from the shoot of the screens, and he was attempting to them. He was passing between them when a wagon lowered by another man bumped slightly into one of the standing wagons causing it to close on the other, and he was nipped between the buffers. (Died 9th April.).
