Burton, Joseph, 28 Oct 1908, aged 33, Clipper, The deceased was attaching full tubs to an endless rope on a road rising at the rate of 1 in 7, and, either on account of his not having screwed the clip tight enough, or because he had got the clip on to a splice in the rope, two tubs filled with dirt, after going 30 yards ran back. He appeared to have been attempting to get into a refuge hole when he was caught by the tubs which dragged him about nine yards until they ran into a "jack catch" and tipped. He was so seriously injured that he died before being taken out of the pit. The clip was in working order, and was, after the accident occurred, used on the same road and rope with three full tubs, and they were safely taken to the top of the plane, although the gradient on the way increased to 1 in 5. There was only one splice in the rope, where the two ends were joined together, and at that place the diameter of the rope was increased from 7/8 in. to 1 in. Between the "jack catch" the tubs were caught by and the next one up the haulage road there was a distance of 90 yards. On a gradient of 1 in 7 they should have been one at least every 20 yards

He had been specially warned of the danger of touching the cable, and had painted ironwork in its vicinity when the current was switched off.

A can of hot water was sent to the shaft bottom, which the deceased took to the stables a short distance away, and on his way he had to pass through two doors. He arrived at the stables all right and left the can there, but in returning he appears to have lost his light, and to have gone past the doors, through a fence, into the airway from No. 1 shaft, and walked a distance of 80 yards, and then to have got over another fence and through an opening into the shaft and to have fallen to the bottom. He had only worked in the pit 10 days and probably did not know that he should not have gone past either of the fences
