| Description | |
|
|
No. 46 on the list occurred at Auckland Park Colliery, belonging to Bolckow, Vaughan, & Co., Limited, on the 13th October about 4 o'clock p.m., causing the death of Jonathan Rudd a coal-hewer.
Deceased, along with the other men working in the part of the mine where the accident happened, were sitting in the landing waiting of the set coming in to take them out-bye, the shift being finished. Several of the men, including deceased, were sitting by the side of the way, and just when the set got about opposite to them it heft the rails and ran amongst them; the others managed to get into refuge holes, but deceased was so badly injured that he died soon after. There were plenty of refuge holes provided to comply with General Rule 14 of the Act, and nothing was found to be wrong with the way, so that what caused the set to leave the rails remains a mystery. Since this accident happened orders have been given that all men must remain in a refuge hole when waiting for the sets.
