Details of Event
Deceased had apparently gone into the screen engine-house in the temporary absence of the engineman to help himself to some paraffin oil to saturate a torch with which to light himself home. He had passed under (or over) the fence and when handling the oil can, had come in contact with the driving pulley or rope drive. He was drawn round the pulley and killed instantly.
