On Engine Planes and by Tubs and Trams.
Accident No. 12 occurred on the 22nd March, an accident which proved to be fatal, at Broomhill colliery, to Roger Bradford, a driver, by his being caught whilst coming out-bye with his pony by the set of tubs on the engine plane. On my inspection of the place where the accident happened I found it sufficiently wide for ordinary purposes, and the father of the deceased, who was employed in the same mine, gave evidence that he did not think anyone to blame. Mr. W. L. Armstrong, viewer and manager of the colliery, produced a plan of the part of the mine where the accident was occasioned and gave evidence, which was perfectly satisfactory to the jury, and in accordance with which a verdict of accidental death was returned.
