Details of Event
Deceased was filling coals at a longwall machine-cut face, when a fall of stone (strong post) occurred. The stone fell from the face of the canch which had been advanced close up to the coal, and it was bounded on three sides by joints in the stratification. A middle prop set under the brow of the canch was reeled by the fall.
