Details of Event
Deceased was clearing a grating on the side of the railway through which the boiler water was ran when sot wagons were pushed over him by a locomotive. The guard connected with the train said that he had looked in the direction in which deceased was and saw no one so allowed the wagons to be pushed that way.
