No. 217 on the list occurred at Hamsterley Colliery, belonging to Messrs. Hamsterley Colliery, Ltd., on the 20th of May and caused the death of a chock drawer. On the night in question deceased was coming out-bye on the engine plane on his ravelling tram and at the same time two men were taking a grease barrel in-bye on a tram, when, by some means, the latter got out of control and ran amain and collided with the deceased man, killing him instantly. The men say that they put a sprag into the wheel of the train on which the grease barrel was, and then could not push the train so took it out again, and it then got the better of them and ran amain ; one of them attempted to get a sprag in the wheel but he slipped on a roller carrying the haulage rope and fell. The gradient for about 200 yards would be about 1 in 36, and it should have been easy on a gradient like that for two men to hold the tram with the grease barrel on it.
