There was an exceedingly sad termination to a Gosport brake outing on Saturday. James Ings, 49, a pensioner from the Navy, and a labourer in the employ of Mr Lear, of Alverstoke, went with a party of other men to Finchdean in one of Mr Tutt's brakes. On the return journey, a call was made at the "Bugle" Hotel, Fareham, about 9.15 p.m. Ings and others got to partake of refreshment, and the conductor went to the horses' heads to give them some water.
The deceased was boarding the brake again and was handing a bunch of flowers to his adopted son, Richard Saunders when the horses suddenly moved forward. Ings fell backwards into the road and it was found that he had sustained an injury to the base of the skull. Dr Brook, of Fareham, was sent for and attended promptly and Ing was afterwards removed to his home, 10 Mayfield Road, Alverstoke. There Dr P.M.Terry attended him but he died at 8.30 am on Sunday.
An inquest will be held.
