Wimblebury Colliery, South Stafford, 6th October. — One man killed. Deceased started and finished getting the ripping stone down at the way-end of his stall. He had to wedge the rock to get it down. A few minutes later the roof on the right of the ripping fell on him as he was walking under it. There was a fault, easily visible in the roof on this side of the stall, which was so inclined to the regular rank timber that it only had the support of one tree in a length of 10 ft. The fall was from this fault and another slip in the roof also between the rank timber. This was clearly a place where two or three bars should have been set across the fault and had they been set the accident in all probability would have been avoided.
