Details of Event
He was working in a split 14 feet wide which had been rather uneasy, in consequence of which the deputy had cautioned him to be extra careful. He had been told by the deputies to take down some stone at the goaf side, which was resting against a prop. The stone had evidently been nearer falling than he expected, and it came away and knocked out a prop and caught him on the head.
