Details of Event
Deceased had hooked on his horse to three empty tubs, and was fetching a coupling to attach a fourth when the horse started off inbye. He was endeavouring to pass the tubs in order to reach and stop the horse when he stumbled and fell in front of the moving empty tubs and was jammed against some loaded tubs which stood in the sidings. His skull was badly fractured and he died almost immediately.
