Details of Event
Whilst waiting for a hewer to fill a tub, he went into a neighbouring place, which according to the deputy was, owing to the absence of the hewer, fenced off by means of a plank with the word "stop" written upon it in chalk. Deceased was found shortly afterwards lying under a fall of stone, partly in the goaf but close against the coal face with a shovel in his hand. This breach of rules resulted in his death.
