Details of Event
He was killed by a fall of coal extending into his place from the stall below. It was caused by the collier in the next stall having drawn out all the sprags in order to get down the coal. He omitted to reset them in the part next to deceased's stall where the coal did not fall at the time but unexpectedly did so later on.
