No. 8 on the list occurred at Tudhoe Colliery, belonging to the Weardale Coal and Iron Company, Limited, on the 4th February about 7 o'clock p.m., causing the death of Jervies Surtees, a coal-hewer. Deceased was killed by a fall of stone which occurred at a slip. It was shown by the evidence given at the inquest that some timber had been set under this stone in the previous shift, and that Surtees had removed it as soon as he came in, which act allowed the stone to fall and kill him. What his motive had been in removing the timber I cannot say; it might have been in his way, or he might have intended to substitute some other for it, but in either case he was wrong in doing what he did. It is a highly dangerous practice to interfere with timber in this way and strictly forbidden by the rules.
