No. 54 on the list. — Deceased was killed by the set at a curve close to the kip. The full set was passing him, coming out-bye, and he caught hold of the side of a tub and evidently could not get off again, as he was crushed between the wall and the tubs, at the curve. He was breaking the Special Rules in doing what he did.
