Details of Event
A five yard cut had been taken off a stoop in a seam 4ft. 6in. thick the props had been drawn, but the roof had not broken. Deceased and some others were commencing the second cut. As the coal appeared to be hard the miner in charge of the place had bored and charged a shot hole in it, and deceased was removing the tools when a piece of coal burst off the face and struck him on the side. He died half an hour afterwards.
