Details of Event
He was in a stooping position wedging bottom coal at the face, when about 2cwt. of top coal fell upon him. A sprag was set against the middle of the coal but not having been well set was thrust out by the coal which fell. The accident was apparently due to insufficient and careless spragging which the supervision of officials is intended to prevent.
