|
|
On 24 December, three men were drowned at Leasingthorne Colliery after an innundation of water. At the inquest held on 2 January 1846, the jury delivered a verdict of accidentally drowned, but made the following addition: The Jury consider there has been general neglect, in not having some person to attend at the shaft, and in not having a ladder erected at the air-staple, for the safety of the men. The jury recommend the widow of James Naisbett and her four children, to the humane consideration of the agents of the said Colliery of Leasingthorne.
