No. 5 on the list occurred at Eston Mines, belonging to Messrs. Bolckow, Vaughan, and Company, Limited, about 11 o'clock a.m., on the 21st of October 1890, and resulted in the death of Thomas Watson, a shifter, on the 11th of February last. Deceased was employed cleaning some roads on the day in question ; a driver shouted and asked if he could come down with his horse and waggons, and received a reply from Watson that he could do so. The horse knocked deceased down and injured him so much that after lying 17 weeks he died. When asked why he had not got out of the way sooner, he said he thought he could get a few shovels-full more before the horse came down. There was no reason why he should not have got into a place of safety as soon as he told the driver he could come down.
