Description

No. 243 on the list occurred at Kimblesworth Colliery, belonging to Messrs. The Charlaw and Sacriston Collieries Co., Ltd., on the 9th June, and caused the death of a coal hewer. This accident occurred in the Busty seam, which has a band in the middle of it. The deceased man was working in a wall which had holed into a wide bord in the bottom section of the seam, and the top coal had also been nicked through so that there was no support for a large piece of top coal, measuring 7 feet 6 inches by 4 feet 6 inches by 2 feet thick and weighing about two and-a-half tons, except two sprags he had set at the wall side of it. He continued to work away the bottom coal and as the support was, in this way, taken out the coal suddenly fell and killed him. This accident should never have happened, and if he had set some sprags under, or supports against, the top coal, at the old bord side, the probability is that I should not have this unfortunate accident to report.
