Details of Event
Deceased ran a loaded tub of debris from the shaft to the waggon tip and by some means was thrown over the scaffold to the railway below a distance of 14ft. The tub was found off the rails and it is supposed that it had struck him as it came back after being emptied. The tip was a side one.
