Details of Event
Gill was striking a drill with a comrade on a temporary staging in the back of the 170 fathom level, and stepping on to the end of a loose plank fell with it about 6 fathoms. The men should be more careful in erecting these temporary stages than they are as proved by repeated accidents resulting from them.
