Deceased was driving a pony attached to three loaded tubs and a half empty water tub on a road inclining in the direction he was going about 2½ Inches per yard. The road was 6 feet high and there was ample room on each side, and no props where the accident occurred. He had a drag in the front wheel of the third tub. He was seen to start by the waggonway man, walking by the side of his set which stopped after it had gone 30 or 40 yards, and the waggonwayman on going to it found deceased dead under the second tub, the front wheels of which were off the road. It is supposed he had fallen in some way while attempting to get on the limbers. The Local Inspectors reported "We in our opinion consider it a pure accident and there is no blame attached to anyone."
