Details of Event
The men were leaving work at the end of the afternoon shift and travelled down a short jig before the empty tubs had landed at the top owing to a full tub being off the rails. The tub was put right and the horse attached, when the tubs became disconnected and the horse went with two tubs only. The horse failed to take the turn in the roadway properly and stepped outside the full road rails, and the front end of the shafts struck deceased in the chest and fatally injured him.
