Details of Event
Deceased was travelling along an engine plane at the end of his shift when the men with him observed that the empty journey had started in from the pit, and advised him to get into a manhole as they did. He disregarded their advice and had passed three manholes, when the journey knocked him down and ran over him. The place was 9ft, wide, and there were manholes 10 to 14 yards apart. He was found near a manhole. He died November 26th.
