Details of Event
He was plucking a shot when a large stone fell from the roof and killed him It came away from a slip and broke off at the pack side. It is possible that the shot shook the stone. The place had been examined immediately before by the shotfirer and a deputy who, thought it was quite safe. The roof was very hard.
