Details of Event
Deceased was working in a place which was relieving a stoop of coal, and was just starting a new cut next to the goaf; the top coal, 12 inches thick, had been left up and was supported by trees, but the prop next to the waste was not set at the end of it, and the portion beyond it ¬¬¬¬fell at a slip or lipe and the crushing of the roof. The piece of coal should have been taken down.
