Details of Event
Deceased was a drawer but assisted at the foot of a cut-chain brea. Having put an empty tub on one end of the chain a loaded tub was pushed over and it ran away and before he could get clear he was caught and crushed against the wall side that he died six hours afterwards. The cause of the tub running away was the opening of a false link in the chain.
