WILBYFATAL ACCIDENT - On Thursday evening Mr C W Chaston held an inquest at the Swan Inn, relative to the death of William Chambers, 40 years of age. Maria Mutimer, wife of Charles Mutimer, labourer, deposed that between 1 and 2 o’clock on the 30th August, she saw the deceased in charge of three or four horses and a waggon. He was sitting upon the seat. A few minutes afterwards she saw him crawling away from the waggon to the side of the road; the horses were stopped. Witness at once went to him. She thought he was in the act of getting out of the wagon when he fell down, and the wheels of the waggon went over him. Witness believed he was quite sober. - Mr C G Read, surgeon, Stradbroke, said he attended the deceased on the 30th August for severe fracture of the right leg.
