Details of Event
Deceased was run over and killed by a journey of coal on a road of ample dimensions and well provided with manholes. It is probable that he had lost his light and was caught while making for a manhole. The position of his cap and strap showed that his body was dragged along for 76 yards. He had worked on this road for 16 years.
