Details of Event
About the beginning of the year a fire was discovered in the rise workings of the Corbie Craig Coal Seam and to extinguish it the air current was cut off by means of stoppings. The result was that the workings referred to and the workings of other seems in the same district were filled with gasses from the fire and blackdamp When the workings were opened deceased who with others was engaged at that work wandered into another section in search of some tools and was suffocated.
