Details of Event
Deceased and a repairer were collecting trams in which to send timber down the pits. Deceased saw one, partly full of coal, at the screen where the coal for the colliers is tipped. He stood on the screen bars, pulled out the coal and it is thought that he was pushing the tram out of the tipping plate, when, by so doing, he must have raised the front end up. However it was done the tram got up over the ends of the upward curved rails and ran down the screen, taking deceased with it. He was found lying on the ground with one end of the tram on his hip. He died in a short time.
