The Bucks Standard, July, 11th 1896

ACCIDENT. On Monday last, while Messrs. Amos, of Castlethorpe, were stacking hay, Mr. F. Amos being on the rick, had occasion to go down to speak to someone, and when about half way down the ladder it swerved with him sideways. A man on the rick named C. Crick, seeing him in danger, tried to stop the ladder, but failed with the result that both men were thrown to the ground. Mr. Amos, only being half-way up the ladder escaped with a few bruises, but Crick on being taken to Northampton Infirmary, was found to have his leg broken in two places, and was detained as an inpatient.
