| Description | |
|
|
No. 2 on the list occurred at Cragshall Mines, belonging to Pease and Partners, Limited, on the 16th January about 11 o'clock a.m., causing the death of William Jemson, the undermanager. He was superintending the taking down of some dangerous stone, standing in a position he thought perfectly safe under a baulk, but a piece of stone in falling caught the baulk and broke it, which sent the stone on to deceased. He was a thoroughly practical man, and had many years' experience in the Cleveland district, and consequently with taking down stone. The accident was one which might have happened to anyone, as it was almost, if not, impossible to tell that the stone would fall the way it did.
