| Description | |
|
|
Number 10 on the same list occurred at Skelton Mine, on the 6th of November, about 10 o'clock a.m., causing the death of Charles Tubby, a deputy.
He along with another deputy, was putting in a baulk of timber. They lifted one end of it into a hole, which had been prepared for it, and deceased wedged the other end into its place; he then put some packing on to the top of it, and while knocking this in, he moved the wedging end of the baulk and it fell upon his chest, and he fell with it a distance of 10 feet on to the edge of an empty tub. He was killed instantly. The baulk cannot have been very well wedged to commence with, but I understand he was a careful and well experienced man, and I am, therefore, compelled to conclude that he thought he had securely fastened it, and that the occurrence was purely accidental.
