No. 60 on the list. — Deceased was killed by a fall of seggar stone, through neglecting to sprag it as required by Special Rule No. 92. It was proved at the inquest that the deputy saw the place would require timber, but he could not put it in at the time he was there because there was not room, but he left timber with deceased, which he said he was to be careful to put in before he worked under the stone. Notwithstanding this caution he disregarded it, and paid the penalty with his life.
