Patrick Haggan
Deceased, who it was stated had received an injury to his head when 18 years of age, was injured by a fall of coal in his working place in the Maudlin seam on January 29th, and his hand was lacerated and his head cut. He was 17 days off work, and then worked until June 14th, when he became insane. He was first taken to the workhouse and then to Sedgefield Lunatic Asylum, where he died. An inquest was held after a post mortem examination, and the Jury found "death was caused by pneumonia, as stated by the doctor, but deceased’s condition when brought here was due to injuries he had received at Washington Colliery on the 29th January last." The Jury added as a rider "We wish to add that patients brought to this asylum in a dying condition should he accompanied by a more detailed history of their antecedents." Compensation was paid to the widow by the colliery company
