Fall of Stone and Coal.
No. 11 occurred at Mickley Colliery, when Nicholas Newton, a hewer, aged 44 years, was killed by a fall of stone ; his son had been working in the same place in the previous shift, and cautioned his father that some ramble or top stone should be taken down to make it safe. A prop had been set by the deputy, but unfortunately the place had not been sufficiently timbered to prevent the accident.
