Can anyone read this? William Brown Jeffrey. Horse Accident.

[*sparkle*]

It is an extract from William Brown Jeffrey's death certificate listing cause of death. So far I can read:

Fracture of the skull
and concussion(?) of the
brain caused by ??
?? ?? violent?
?? stone wall
by a horse while engaged
?? ?? deceased
?? ??
hour after the accident as
certified by Geo Henderson
surgeon ?? ??
deceased shortly ??
died 5th March 1859 and
was present when he died

Can you help me fill in the gaps? SP have already kindly re-scanned it so it must be a very poor original image.
Just a shame the parents/wife aren't named as I'm not 100% sure it is my man....

Thanks

Wow, quite a piece.

I have just had something deciphered by the other section I would paste it there.    My grandfather suffered a contusion of the back, which meant a bruise.  I would guess his brain was bruised.  Sorry have not the eyes for the rest do post it here though.  Or make a link and post there too.

I think this is what we have so far:
Fracture of the skull

brain caused by deceased
being dashed/clashed violently
against stone wall
by a horse while engaged
in breaking horse. Deceased
expired in about an
hour after the accident as

Think we are almost there. Thank you very much!

Could the last part be "Surgeon to the inspector??"

Still not sure about surgeon to?? yet but had another read and I think it says breaking it in rather than horse
