Details of Event
Fall of roof in working place from proved fault and two slips. Visited by fireman, Thomas Birchall at 8am who ordered a prop to be set but failed to see deceased commence. The prop was never set. Deceased ought not to have been permitted to work alone as a collier his father being absent ill. Doubtful if he had been employed two years at the face. (Average roof).
