Daniel Foley
The Lamb pit, 12½ feet diameter, was being deepened at nights below the Yard seam. During the day it was used as a coal drawing shaft and was traversed by two cages, only one of which ran to the Yard seam, the other running only to the Main Coal, an upper seam. Each day, after coal drawing was finished, the sinkers commenced work, and had sunk 80 feet below the Yard seam. While used as a coal drawing shaft or as a sinking pit it was sufficiently fenced at the Yard seam, but during the operations necessary in preparing for sinking or refitting for coal drawing it was unfenced, and it was at the end of the shift, while the latter operation was in progress, that the deceased fell to the bottom from the Yard seam and was killed. A number of shots had been fired last thing, and smoke hung about at the Yard seam and may have obscured deceased's vision, although electric lamps on each side of the pit showed a good light. The regular waiter-on at the Yard seam was absent, and one of the sinkers was acting in his place.
