Description

No. 17 in the list. This man was engaged repairing an old shaft at a small colliery, which had not been in use for some time. He had occasion to come out of the shaft for some material, and on getting to the surface told the engineman that he would not require him for some time, and that he had better look to his boiler fires. The engineman left his engine, and no sooner had he done so than the deceased returned to the shaft, put his foot into the loop attached to the winding rope, and fell down the shaft.
