From the Whitstable Times, 20 October, 1900.
ACCIDENT TO A BREWER'S DRAYMAN.
On Wednesday last, Henry Johnson, a drayman, in the employ of Messrs. W.
E. and J. Rigden, met with a serious accident whilst in charge of a load
of beer at Sittingbourne. When in East Street in that town the breeching
of one of the Lories became unfastened and he got down to attend to it.
Before he had finished the horses started, and Johnson fell to the
ground, the wheel of the draw passing over his shoulder, causing a bad
fracture, while he also sustained a severe abrasion of the face. Dr. R.
M. Boodle attended him, and later in the day he was removed to
Faversham. He has since been under the treatment of Dr. Anderson, and is
now progressing satisfactorily.
