Details of Event
Deceased was working by himself driving a road, when he was killed by a fall of clay parting at the road side. From the evidence it appeared that deceased had tried to wedge the clay down, and had failed to do so. He then went underneath to hew a little more coal, when the clay fell. Deceased should have reset the timber under the clay.
