| Description | |
|
|
No. 42. Wearmouth Colliery. On the 27th July, Carlyle Gooch, a driver, met with an accident at this colliery, which resulted in his death on the 31st of the same month. From the evidence adduced it was acknowledged by witnesses that deceased was riding on tubs contrary to regulations, but unfortunately the poor lad, who was only 13 years of age, transgressed, and probably was tempted to do so from the fact of the light of his safety lamp having by some means been extinguished, and expecting by riding on the set to get sooner outbye.
