Details of Event
Inspection made and inquest attended. The deceased was hewing when some stone which was slightly overhanging the coal fell away at a slip. The deputy and deceased examined the stone shortly before the accident and considered it sufficiently timbered as it was secured by two props and a headtree but these were canted out.
