Details of Event
Deceased was carrying one end of a 16ft long plank, which he and his mate were about to set near the face. He had got chose up to the face when some ironstone burst off the side on to him, and killed him. A 4-foot fault crossed the place, and the stone the miners were working at was only a stook.
