- Details of Event
- He went through a fence into a tophole containing fire damp and was suffocated. He was boring a hole from another place to hole into the tophole and although he had been refused permission by the overman and fireman he went into the tophole to hear sounds from his own place so as to judge whether the borehole was in the right direction. He left his lamp below the gas while he went to the face of the tophole.
