Fall of stone. Some blue stone came away from a slip in the roof above three yards behind the coal-cutting machine. The place was well timbered and the deputy was close behind setting props next the face before the jud props were drawn. It fell from a bright glassy slip, coneshaped and had been jowled twice that morning without giving warning.
