Details of Event
Deceased was getting down "white coal " in a stall in the top or section of Thick Coal with his back to the gob, he was cutting up along the pillar side, when the coal under which he stood and which he was preparing to get down, came off suddenly at a slip in front, into which he had cut. He was severely crushed and died nine days afterwards. The slip had been noticed before the accident which a little more care ought to have prevented.
