James Marsden was a labourer and gardener who had been in New Zealand for 26 years. On 23rd August 1887, while trying to catch a horse in a paddock at Green Island, he received a severe kick to the stomach from the animal. Despite being taken to Dunedin Hospital he died about two hours later. James was married but seems to have had no family.
