Deceased trespassed on the colliery wagon way which at the place of accident is a self-acting incline in taking dinner to her husband who was a mason not employed by the colliery company. She appears to have crossed the line about 45 yards above the meetings immediately after the full set passed her and was caught by the upcoming empty set. Notices as to trespassing are posted at several points on the line but these have no effect the public apparently cleaning right of way. The colliery propose prosecuting trespassers in future. Female.
