Deceased who had a brother employed on the screens at the colliery and was himself anxious to start work there and appears to have been in the habit hanging about the branch railway and while probably waiting for his brother’s company home he sat on the buffer of a loaded chaldron wagon. A truck ran into this wagon owing to five empty wagons beyond it getting out of hand while they were being lowered.
