Details of Event
Inspection made. He appears to have asked his mate to let two waggons down so as to bump two other ones out from under the screens. After this had been done he stepped between to push the front ones when the others followed on and crushed him between the buffers. Deceased had put a scotch on the line to stop the latter ones but one came over it.
