Fatal Accident at Conisbro’.

The Doncaster Borough Coroner held an inquest at the Infirmary on Monday on the body of John Chappell, aged 50, who had been employed by Mr. Burniston, of Conisbro’, to drive his traction engine.

Last week he was taking a thrashing machine from Clifton to Conisbro’, and when going down a declivity he got upon the couplings. The pin bolt of the thrashing machine seems to have broken, and the top part of it fell, crushing him against the engine, thus injuring his skull and breaking some ribs.

The accident being discovered, he was liberated, and with all speed removed to the Infirmary, where he died on Monday.

A verdict of “Accidental death” was returned.
