Details of Event
Deceased fell out of the cage while descending the shaft alone. He had complained shortly before of feeling weak and giddy. Fence bars were provided for the ends of the cage, but the banksman omitted to put them in position, his excuse being that deceased was in a hurry and told him it did not matter.
