Accident No. 90 occurred in the D pit, East Holywell Colliery. It caused the death of a hewer named Percy, by the explosion of a shot. He thought the shot he had prepared and lighted, to blast the coal down, had not taken effect, and he returned too soon into his working place, and the charge exploded whilst he was near the face, rendering him such injuries that he died from their effect.
