The remaining accident occurred at the Delves Colliery on October 30th. A horsekeeper and others were sending a pony down from the Busty to the Brockwell Seam, and after getting him out of the cage the horsekeeper rapped a man to bank as he was authorised to do. They said good-night to each other, when for some reason he leant out over the fence and looked up the shaft on the side on which the empty cage was descending; his head was caught by the down-coming cage and he was killed.
