- Details of Event
- The boy had set his pony away at "loose" along the travelling road whilst he went to put on his coat. The pony passed through a brattice sheet and there waited for the boy. As the deceased was passing through the canvas, the pony, no doubt being startled, kicked out and struck the boy in the stomach. He died from internal injuries four days later. The pony was a new one, and was sent out of the pit.
