- Details of Event
- As was riding on a full journey outbye standing on the shackle coupling between this first and second trams, in an old collar in some manner caught and knocked him off resulting in his being so injured that he died the same evening. How it occurred is not clear one suggestion is that the tram which was out of shape caught in one arm of the collar and another is that the collar snapped about the time when the journey approached. There was no one near him at the time.
