Details of Event
He was engaged with his marrow in driving a road alongside an old working. A large stone rolled from an old bord, and knocking a prop out, caused a stone to fall from a hitch which the prop was sup porting. The stone struck deceased on the head, killing him instantly. His marrow described the place as very pleasant to work in.
