| Notes: | Deceased and another man were engaged in driving a drift into the hill side, and had got about 8 yards in ; 6-inch baulks were set every 2 feet and polling driven in advance. They had got ready for another baulk, when the innermost one reeled out, and the place came in for about 4 yards from the face, burying the men. The weight of the loose ground above on the front end of the polling had evidently pressed the latter down, and so forced the baulk out [Inspection made & inquest attended] |
