Details of Event
A journey of 10 trams of coal was being lowered down a road, dipping 1 in 4, when the rope drew out of the cap and the journey ran down, overtook deceased and killed him. The cap was said to have been examined that morning and was considered all right. The ropes will be recapped quarterly in future, instead of half-yearly.
