Details of Event
Deceased left the face with a full tub to take it to the passbye about 150 yards away. As he was too long away, the stallman went to look for him. He was found fast between the tub and the side of the road. His neck was broken and he was quite dead. Deceased had a mark over the heart probably caused by the horse kicking him. This would cause him to turn round quickly, and he was evidently caught between the tub and the side.
