Details of Event
He was descending Harrietts’ shaft in the bottom deck of the gig when a miner in the upper deck let a drill, which he was taking down with him fall into the shaft. Striking the side of the shaft it rebounded and in some manner penetrated deceased’s side, from the result of which he died next day.
