Details of Event
A double deck cage containing four full tubs was lifted away from the bottom and stopped as soon as the descending cage was at the ground level in order that some coal might he raised from the surface level to the heapstead level. When the other cage was again lowered to the bottom, it was found that deceased had by some means been crushed against the bearers underneath it, and had fallen into the sump.
