Deceased and his son law worked together in a longwall place in the Cannel Band. The shot firer had fired a shot for them examined the place afterwards and cautioned them as to some hanging coal. Deceased appears to have been picking stones off the coal thrown by the shot preparatory to hewing down the hanging coal when it fell on him. He was apparently not seriously injured but he was a weakly man and he died in a few minutes.
