Details of Event
Deceased was preparing to set a plank on a machine face, when a stone 3 feet by 2 feet by 3 inches fell on to his neck and shoulders and stunned him. He had filled the coal out 3 feet 6 inches beyond the last plank and as the roof contained a number of glazed slips deceased should have set a prop before commencing to notch a hole in the solid coal for the plank. He died on the following day.
