Details of Event
Deceased and his neighbour were hauling a loaded tub up a dook by means of an ordinary windlass and when the tub was a short distance up his neighbour thought there was something the matter with the machinery and let go of his handle causing the tub to go back and deceased who was at the opposite handle attempted to escape but failed to do so and was struck by the handle as it revolved in the reverse direction.
