|
Fall of Stone and Coal.
No. 4, in the list of fatal accidents, occurred at the Daisy pit, East Hartford, one of the Cramlington Collieries ; a fall having taken place in the north-west way, deceased and a person named Thomas Nichol were sent to rid it away. From the evidence of Nichol it appeared that he and deceased had both thought the place, after jowelling it, quite safe. The master shifter had also examined the place a short time previously, and did not see any risk in the men working there.
