No. 20 on the list occurred at Stanley Colliery, belonging to Messrs. Pease and Partners, Limited, on the 19th of May, about 3.30 p.m., causing the death of David Robson, a shaft lad. Deceased was employed at the 5/4 seam to pull the empty tubs out of the cage at the back of the shaft, while the full ones were being pushed in from the opposite side. When the accident happened he was waiting for the cage coming down, and, instead of standing back as he should have done, he was leaning over into the shaft, talking to a boy at the bottom, 17 fathoms below. The cage came down, and caught and killed him. The onsetter should not have allowed him to talk down the pit or to put himself into such a dangerous position.
