Details of Event
The deceased was on his way outbye, and left a landing about two minutes before a set of 42 full tubs started for the shaft. On the arrival of the set near the shaft he was found on the kip with his head under the axle of a tub towards the rear portion of the set. Some men who were walking outbye noticed a person riding on the set as it passed. There is little doubt the deceased was illegally riding on the set when his skull was fractured by coming into contact with a girder on the kip. His lamp was found 77 yards further inbye, and his damaged bottle the shaft.
