Accident No. 77. This accident caused the death of David Brown, who was the manager of Biteabout Colliery. On the 8th November he, in the discharge of his duties, went to see that the scaffolding, which they were in the habit of placing over the shaft when not at work, was safely placed. No one was there to see how the accident happened, but on his not returning home, which was close by the pit, a search was made and he was found at the bottom of the shaft, having evidently fallen down.
