Accident No. 11. — Fall of Coal, neglecting to set Sprags.
At Strangeway's Hall Colliery, Wigan, 29th February. — Another case at this colliery where a workman persisted in holing without first spragging the coal, after having been cautioned by the underlooker several times, shows the carelessness of colliers in matters relating to their own safety. There can be no reasonable excuse for neglecting to adopt this simple precaution, and every manager and underlooker should punish those who neglect to do so.
