No. 438 on the list occurred at Brandon Colliery, on the 3rd November, and resulted in the death of a boy employed on the coal-cleaning belts. This was quite an unaccountable accident; the screen, belt, and everything about it was in order and running as usual, there was nothing either on the top or side which could catch the boy's clothing. The floor he was standing on was nine inches below the deals protecting the sides of the belt, and if he had stood on the deal the underneath of the belt would be four inches below it. The angle iron supports act as a fence, and he by some means got through a triangular-shaped hole — 1 ft. 10 ins. by 1 ft. 9 ins. There was no evidence of any larking going on at the time; there was, however, a suggestion that deceased was trying to creep through the belt to the other side, but I cannot believe any boy would do such a mad thing. Some additional protection was promised to be put up by the management in order, if possible, to prevent the recurrence of such a fatality.
