Details of Event
Deceased worked in the first branch road off a heading and the part of the heading above in the next place being steeper a cuddie was in use. It was the custom for deceased to come to heading road to assist his drawer with the empty tub and he was sitting on the roadway as usual waiting on his drawer when the miner in the place above came out with a loaded tub to run it to the heading foot and failing to attach the cuddie chain the tub ran down the heading; deceased was caught by it and pushed in front for a distance of 10 yards.
