Details of Event
Fall of stone when drawing timber. He was a very experienced man and had only drawn four or five props when the roof fell from two slips which were quite invisible before the accident. The hewer who had driven the place was helping him and had jowled the stone and the stone and thought it fast. He had seen no slips.
