N.G. 6th April, 1863
Frightful Death

On Saturday last an inquest was held on the body of an Irish woman named Hannah Coglan who, on Thursday week last, was engaged in stealing (or picking) coal out of a truck on the dock, when other trucks, being driven against that one in which she was so engaged, unperceived by her, the collision caused her to fall over, and the wheels passed over her head and so frightfully mangled it, that she was picked up quite dead. Verdict - accidentally killed.
