Details of Event
Deceased was engaged repairing an airway and filled the stone into coal tubs. The gradient where he was working at the time of the accident was about 44ins. per yard in favour of the full tub, necessitating the use of lockers for a distance of 9 yards. He had evidently been attempting to take a full tub down this gradient without a locker, and been in front of it, and was overpowered and crushed between it and a prop.
