A set of 25 tubs was coming to the bottom of the drift at a speed of about three miles per hour, and deceased was warned by a rolleywayman who was near of their approach, he said he would let them pass but after about 15 tubs had passed him he attempted in contravention of the rules to get between two tubs to ride up the drift but fell, and was dragged about eight yards and crushed against a brick side wall.
