| Description | |
|
|
No. 70 on the list. — Two men were killed by this accident. They were hewing in two separate places, one in a "wall" and the other in a "bord."
The man in the "bord" was told to turn a place away out of his own to meet the "wall." These places holed during the shift, and after filling all the coal off the opening the deceased sat down to talk for about 10 minutes, when a large fall of top-stone came away at a slip, killing them both.
They had been cautioned by the deputy to put some timber up as soon as they hewed the coal away from the opening, but had neglected to do so. There was plenty of timber of proper lengths in both places.
