- Details of Event
- Deceased was a bencher or hanger-on the foot of a wheel brae 27 feet long and dipping 1 in 5. When about to couple on an empty tub he shouted something which a drawer at the braehead mistook for 'shove over'. The loaded tub was consequently sent away before the empty one was attached to the chain. It struck and drove the empty tub against deceased fracturing a rib which perforated his lung. He died about 12 hours afterwards.
