Details of Event
He was killed by a fall of clod shortly after entering his working place and within a moment or two of declaring, after examination of the clod that it would not fall even if the two props set to support it were knocked out There was no evidence that he knocked the props out but there was some doubt whether the two props were actually set under the clod or one under the clod and one under the rock at the rise side of the place.
