Details of Event
As the pit was idle he was working as a dataller on the night shift repairing &c., in his own district; and he and another man were making a road through an old pack for an airway when a fall of stone occurred at a smooth parting and fell upon him. His head was pressed to the floor and before he could he released he was suffocated.
