Robert Turnbull Ellis
A stone putter was taking an empty iron stone tub outbye on an engine plane which dipped inbye 3 to 4 inches per yard. He rode on the limbers of the pony, but had forgotten to put the cotteril through the bolt, although he had it in his hand. When about 70 yards from a junction the pony stumbled over a roller, and the putter jumped off to catch its head, and the limbers became disconnected, and the tub ran back. The putter got hold of the tub but was thrown down, and the tub ran amain. Deceased had come outbye since the putter left the junction, and was probably sitting on a sheave just inside the side road when the tub ran into him, and was found lying on its side a few feet beyond. No "cow" was used with the tub. The Local Inspectors reported "in our opinion if the cotter had been used the tub would not have ran away." The putter was fined by the magistrate for his neglect
