Details of Event
One side of the working place which was about 14 feet high consisted of solid ore the worked out ground or goaf partly open being opposite. Props were set on this open side and backed up with stones and timber to within four feet of the roof. This protection proved inadequate as a large stone falling in the goaf knocked out a prop and caught deceased.
