Details of Event
Deceased was repairing a face building in a longwall working 4ft 6ins in height when a mass of coal and blaes 12ft. in length and 2ft 2in. in thickness suddenly came away and fell upon him killing him instantly. The coal was said to have been gibbed but for a distance of 8 yd. above the fallen coal the face was found standing partially holed and entirely without gibs.
