Details of Event
He and his marrow had just left the face of their working place, when the roof came down bodily from between two slips running parallel to the face, and another running at right angles to them on the right, or fast side of the place, His marrow was rushed down the ‘hatching’ by the falling stones to safety, but deceased tried to take refuge between two chocks. The weight of fallen stone behind him pressed him against prop, and caused the death by pressure on his heart after breaking his breastbone.
