The third case was due entirely to the recklessness of the deceased himself, who was engaged at a washing machine, which was supplied with coals from a hopper. The coals had stuck to the sides of this hopper, and were not running freely, when deceased and another young fellow, instead of using the rod provided for the purpose, jumped into the hopper, with the result that they were both carried down by the rush of coals. The second youth was fortunately got out alive, but the deceased, William Robinson, was beyond hope.
