Cribb, James (1797–1841)

On Tuesday last James Cribb, returning from Windsor to Richmond with a waggon load of lime, the horse shied when in endeavouring to rein in the near shaft horse, his heel came in contact with the fore wheel, he fell, and the fore wheel went over his left leg, which was crushed to pieces—the hind wheel went over his loins which caused instant death.
