Deceased had taken a loaded tub down a longwall heading for a distance of 30 yards and was drawing the snibbles on the level when a stone 12 feet by 7 feet 6 inches at extremes and averaging 3.5 inches in thickness suddenly fell from the roof. Part of it struck him and fractured the base of his skull. He succumbed ten days afterwards.
