Details of Event
Inspection made and inquest attended. A shot had been fired in deceased's working place to which he was returning when the roof of the travelling road suddenly gave way and caught him. The roof at this point consisted of hard ore and it was not timbered with head-trees as it was considered sufficiently strong.
