Fall of Stone and Coal.
No. 13 occurred at the Forster Pit, Seaton Delaval Colliery, on the 23rd March, in consequence of a fall of stone, which caused the death of Michael Crozier. He had, in attending to his work, and in coming out-bye, met with a small fall of stone, which obstructed the passage of the pony and tub, of which he had charge, and whilst there a further fall of stone occurred, and was the means of the fatal result. The evidence at the inquest was to the effect that the place had shortly before been examined, and was not thought to be dangerous.
