Details of Event
The deceased was probably struck on the head by the first hutch of a rake of hutches which was standing immediately on the inbye side of a brattice screen just as he was stooping down in order to remove a block. A second rake bumped against the first rake and caused the sudden and unexpected movement of the latter. Before attempting to do what he did he should have gone through the brattice screen.
