The Star [Ballarat] 26 Nov. 1859: 2. Trove. National Library of Australia. Web.
A frightful accident happened at Little Bendigo yesterday, by which a man named Troon met with instantaneous death. It appears that he was in the act of entering one of the engine houses there by means of a short cut instead of going round to the proper entrance, the engine being at work, when he passed too close to the fly-wheel with which he became entangled and he was smashed in pieces between the wheel and the frame. Dr Clendinning was shortly in attendance, but the unfortunate man had ceased to exist. The inquest will take place this day.

The Star [Ballarat] 28 Nov. 1859: 3. Trove. National Library of Australia. Web.
The inquest on the remains of Philip Troon, whose death was reported in our issue of Saturday, was held by the district Coroner at the Prince of Wales Hotel on the same day. The evidence of two miners named Morrow and Bell, was to the effect that the deceased was engine driver in the Stock Yard Mining Company, at Little Bendigo. The engine works two puddling machines and winding gear, for the latter of which there is a small door made, in close proximity to which is the fly-wheel. This opening was constantly and most improperly used by the whole party generally as a short way of entrance into the engine house; and on Friday the deceased on going in put one foot on the threshold and the other on the frame-work on which the fly-wheel works; his foot slipped off the threshold and he fell forward on to the wheel. Before the steam could be turned off the engine had stopped by reason of the body of deceased being jammed between the wheel and the frame. He was quite dead when got out, and bleeding on the head and mouth. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death, and further, that great negligence and rashness were attributable to the company for not guarding against such an occurrence.
