Details of Event
Deceased had drawn two sprags from under the coal, and was getting it down. The top of the coal was the last support of a stone weighing 8 cwts., which knocked out a prop and fell on him. The stone was in the angle of a bent slip which was concealed by a scale of coal sticking to the roof.
