The road in a Barry face was being shifted, and it was necessary to remove a pair of timbers as the arms were in the way. As the roof was much broken by a fault deceased set two pairs of timber to support the collar, and was knocking out the arms when the place collapsed and about 50 tons of cliff fell. Two flats and the two pairs of timber set by deceased were crushed out. Coronation seam.
