Details of Event
Along with his mate he had holed length of face and then started to take out the sprags so as to get the coal down; he had drawn all the sprags except the one at the loose end, when the coal came down, displaced to sprag and caught him. There was slip behind the coal which could not be foreseen before the fall occurred.
