Two trams of coal were being drawn by a pair of horses up a road rising 1 in 18 when the connecting hook lifted and so liberated the last tram which ran back and killed deceased. The haulier had neglected to attach a barhook behind the last tram. He was proceeded against under Special Rule 161, for his neglect and was fined £3 11s including costs.
