Details of Event
The machinery having been stopped at 1.50 p.m. deceased thought that work had ceased for the day, as the shift finishes at 2 p.m. He, therefore and as usual, went through a fence to clean the dross from the end of a picking table. On more coal coming out, the engine-driver started the machinery, and deceased was dragged round a pulley by one of the belts.
