Details of Event
Deceased was expecting some empty trams, and hearing the journey he went a short distance up the drift to secure them. The journey was stopped about 50 yards higher up the drift for the purpose of discharging a tram of timber, when by some means, probably by the pin of a shackle rising, two trams were liberated. These ran for 50 yards, jumped the rails, and crushed deceased against the side. He died on April 12.
