No. 1 on the list occurred at North Beechburn Colliery, belonging to the North Beechburn Coal Company, Limited on the 2nd of January about 10.20 a.m., causing the death of Robert Wilson, a coal hewer. Deceased lost his life by trying to get into a refuge hole further in-bye than he should have done, and was caught by the full set. Some delay had occurred in the men getting into the pit on this particular morning, owing to come dispute, and I understand deceased was very anxious to hew all the coal he possibly could and was rushing in-bye to make up for some of the time lost. His over-anxiety in the case, however, cost him his life. Rushing on engine-planes is decidedly dangerous, and less would be heard of this kind of accident if men would get into a refuge hole before the set got close to them and wait patiently until it had gone past.
