| Description | |
|
|
Two fine young men, of the names Matthew King and James Linsley, were killed, whilst at work in the Sheriff Hill colliery, in consequence of a fall from the roof of the mine. It would appear that they had incautiously removed some coal without having supplied its place with props, which occasioned the accident. A coroner's inquest was held, and a verdict of accidental death returned.
