From a newspaper cutting in the possession of Mrs. Susan Leggett:

South London Observer Camberwell and Peckham Times

Dated Saturday 17th February 1894

A PECKHAM CARMAN KILLED BY HIS RUNAWAY PONY

On Wednesday afternoon Mr. G. P. Wyatt, the Coroner for Camberwell, held an inquest at the George and Dragon, Peckham, on a body of David Hale, aged 62 years, a carman lately living at Ebenezer Cottage, Back-lane, Asylum Road, who was met with a sad death.
Elizabeth Hale, the widow, identified the body, and said that last Saturday evening deceased left home to serve some of his customers with sawdust. Shortly after 10 o'clock the same night she was informed by a neighbour that deceased had been thrown from his pony-trap down the street. Witness went to ascertain the facts of the case, and found deceased being carried home by some men. He was quite unconscious, in which state he remained until his death, which took place about 20 minutes past eight o'clock the following morning. He was quite sober when he left home.
William Ambridge, potman at the Queen Elizabeth, Asylum Road, stated that deceased was in the above house at eight o'clock that night. He (deceased) was then perfectly sober. Some two hours later witness was in Jervis-street, which is close by, and saw deceased, who had just turned the corner, standing up in the trap. The pony suddenly bolted and threw deceased backwards. Witness ran up and prevented deceased from falling out of the back of the vehicle. Almost immediately afterwards deceased stooped down to reach the reins, and pitched over the side of the trap into the road, his head striking the kerb with great force. He was picked up, and, with assistance, carried indoors. A medical man was at once sent for. Deceased never spoke after he fell. The pony was eventually stopped some distance up the street.
Dr. W. F. Godwin, of 89, Asylum Road, stated that when he arrived deceased was perfectly unconscious. Witness visited him several times, but he gradually sank, and expired as above stated. Deceased had a severe scalp wound three inches long. Death was due to either a fractured skull or a rupture of an artery on the brain, consequent upon the fall.
The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death".
