Hi
If they've survived, the local archives should have a record.
However, as you have an exact date, it is very likely to be reported in the local press.
You could email the local library and see if they will look it up and email you the details or even send a copy.
You might even find a Rootschatter will do a look up.
Often, the newspaper cutting will be just as detailed as the report, or very nearly.
Best wishes

Hi Emms,
Thanks for your responce.
I have e-mailed Cadishead library, but I don't know if they provide a search service..some do some don't...and I've not had a reply as yet.
As for the coroners report , are they available to the public?
regards
