| Description | |
|
|
Number 35 on the list occurred at Brandon Colliery, on the 25th of June, about 2 o'clock p.m., causing the death of Ralph Maughan, a coal hewer.
He was working in a broken jud, loose at both sides, and the timber in the old one on the right-hand side had been drawn. His place became uneasy; the timber was cracking, and he, being frightened, ran into the old place, where there was no timber at all, and a stone fell and killed him on the spot. If he had remained in his own place he would have been safe, for no fall occurred in it for several hours after he was killed. There was plenty of room for him to get back by the side of the tub, but he had evidently lost his presence of mind, as soon as the timber began to break.
