Details of Event
Fall of roof at the junction of a stall road with a heading. Two pairs of timber are said to have been put up at the place by the fireman's directions an hour or two before. It is unknown whether the tram, on which he appears to have been riding, got off the rails and knocked out some of the timbers or not, but as three pairs came down, it seems probable that it did do so.
