Details of Event
The accident happened at the coal face in the Bass seam. Deceased was walking close to the face in his working place, when a piece of overhanging coal, 4ft. 6ins. long, 1ft. wide, and 10ins. thick, fell and injured him. He died two days later. The coal had been holed four days previously, and should have been secured by means of a sprag.
