Details of Event
Fall of roof which occurred while he and others were clearing a previous large fall in the gob road in the Old Coal Seam. This is always dangerous work and can only be guarded against by great care and judgement in this case they appear to have been deceived by the stone which fell being broken over the gob and its not being noticeable that it was so.
