| Notes: | On getting out of the cage at the bottom, he fell into the sump. The onsetter admitted that he had left one of the gates open, which he ought not to have done according to his instructions. Why the deceased acted as he did it is impossible to say, but it is probable that he thought he had got out of the other side of the cage, as he generally did, and, although warned by the Onsetter to stand fast, turned round to go to the opposite side of the shaft by the gangway [Inspection made & inquest attended] |
