Inquest on Arthur Charles AUST, aged 63 of Hawkesbury Upton who died as a result of an accident in Fishponds that oaacuured on July 1st. According to witnesses Mr Aust led his pony and trap out suddenly in front of a tramcar. The car knocked down the pony which pulled down the man and kicked him, fracturing his ribs.
