Details of Event
A miner working to the rise in the Ince Seven Feet Mine, in a place eleven feet six inches by five feet, holed through to an old level driven from an old shaft worked prior to 1848. In consequence a rush of water occurred from the old working and from the surface which was flooded with casual water. Deceased when attempting to leave the mine got drowned, and was found jammed between tubs in a shunt in the main level.
