Details of Event
Deceased and another shifter wore laying a turn, and while the latter was away looking for some "sweeps" the former was busy with the crossing, when a slab of stone with a maximum thickness of 6 inches fell on to him. The stone was post with partings of coal, and if he had jowled it no doubt it would have sounded bad.
