Explosions of Gas.
The fourth explosion (No. 82), resulting in the loss of one life, occurred in the Marine Rhondda Colliery, belonging to the Marine Rhondda Steam Coal Co., on the 4th of September.
This colliery was also worked with safety lamps, but, as in the Dunraven case just referred to, shot firing was allowed. This is similar to the Dunraven case, with this exception, that at the inquest it was elicited that for several days previous to the explosion gas had been lodged not far from where the shots were being fired, and, as I consider that to be a violation of the first general rule, I reported the case, and, by your instructions, proceedings were instituted against the manager, who was fined £10 and costs.
