Details of Event
Deceased appears to have been on his knees shovelling coals in his working place, when part of the roof, which was cut up by lypes, fell, and a piece 12 inches by 12 inches by 9 inches struck him on the head and killed him. His place was well timbered and two props were found under the fallen stones.
