| Description | |
|
|
Accident No. 30, on the 15th May, was at North Fenham Colliery, where Joseph Fitzpatrick, a hewer, was killed by a shot. He was hewing in a board, and another man was at work in a wall which was approaching it. Fitzpatrick appears to have been mistaken as to the thickness of the coal which separated the two places for although the man in the wall told him he was going to fire a shot, he had not retreated far enough, and the shot, by blowing through into his place, caused his death.
