Details of Event
The deceased were found under a stone, 30 ft. from the coal face, by the fireman while making his usual inspection; the boy was quite dead, and the man died four hours later from his injuries. It is supposed that Glenny came inbye with an empty tub, and leaving it at the place of "coup," he went to the face for Brown to assist him to "coup" it up, and both were returning for that purpose when the roof fell.
