Deceased was taking a full tub of stone outbye to a landing when the tub jumped the points causing it to go on the empty way. He remained on the limbers and his head was caught between the top of the tub and a prop. The distance between the tub and the prop was 1.75 inches. The road was practically level. The points were of the fixed type and were somewhat worn. The horse may have crossed over.
