Details of Event
The deceased was coming to the pit bottom and instead of going by the travelling road he went up an incline down which the empty tubs run by their own gravity to the endless rope. It chanced that a set of eight full tubs ran hack through the grip slipping and they ran over Hughes and killed him.
