Details of Event
Deceased was emptying dross from a wagon into the boiler fire-hole, and while doing so another workman allowed a waggon to come down towards the one in which he was, and, seeing that there was likely to be a collision he jumped and fell across the rails, the waggons running over him. He died eight hours later.
