He was picked unconscious and carried into the inn, where P.c. Downing and Joseph Broadhead rendered first-aid.

He was removed train to Sheffield, and conveyed from the Midland Station by the Rockingham Street ambulance to the Royal Hospital, where he lies in a serious condition.

He is suffering from a fracture of the skull.
