Details of Event
Inspection made and inquest attended. He had brought his full tub to the landing, in the haulage brow, when a large fall of roof occurred, knocking out several large bars and burying the deceased. Owing to the great height that it fell, they were unable to recover the body until the following day. After the fall it was found the roof gave way from a large slip, or break, running up on one side of the brow.
