Details of Event
Fall of roof on a Barry road in the Big Vein Seam, where he was assisting to lay the curve rails leading up into the face. Clod which had not been taken down as usual to make height fell from a face slip, which his butty should have noticed, he himself not being an experienced man the collier in charge of the place seems to blame in the matter more or less.
