I found this article in the Trove Digital Newspaper collection and can't help but wonder if the Joseph Jones involved is my 3rd Great Grandfather Joseph Dolphin Jones (see more here ).  My Joseph Jones died as a result of injuries received in a buggy accident on the 22nd May 1885 at Sutton Forest.  If this article below also involves him then it is possible that the after effects of this accident may have contributed to the events that caused his death.  In that injury/weakness caused by the February accident to his arm/shoulder may have led to him releasing the reins when the horse shied in May, which subsequently led to the horse bolting and the buggy overturning causing the injuries that ultimately caused his death.
