Details of Event
He was employed at the bottom of a short cousie, and apparently signalled for the rake to be run without attaching the empty hutches, and, in consequence, the full hutches ran away. He was found immediately after on the ground suffering from bruises; these were considered slight, but he died from lung complications on the 24th January.
