Details of Event
While bringing out a full tub along the putting road, sitting on the limbers driving a pony, and just having passed through a canvas sheet, it is supposed that he raised his head above the level of the top of the tub, and caught it against a plank. The tub height is 3 feet 10 inches, and the ordinary height of the road is a few inches above 4 feet, the plank being just 4 feet high above rail level.
