| Description | |
|
|
John Harrison was killed by a set of tubs while leading his pony from the stables in-bye on 27 December.
Joseph Storey said he was following Harrison and another driver called Moses out of the stables onto the engine plane. Soon afterwards the rope began to move and the set was on them before anything could be done to stop it. He saw two ponies being dragged by the set and then saw Harrison badly injured.
