| Description | |
|
|
Number 4 on the same list occurred at Carrick's Iron Ore Mine on the 15th of November about 1 o'clock p.m., causing the death of Thomas Hodgson, a miner.
It appears a shot had been fired and this displaced a stone, which had been covering a clay back or parting in the stone above; as soon as this happened, the support having been taken away, a large stone fell upon the deceased man without any warning and killed him. He had examined the stone, both with a light and by sounding it, and thought it was quite safe.
The treacherous clay back, surrounding the stone which fell, was the cause of this unfortunate accident; it is precisely of the same character as number 1 on this list, and my remarks thereon apply with equal fitness to this case.
