Deceased was working single in a headways place 5 yards wide, the seam being 3 feet thick, worked bord and pillar, when a fall of roof occurred, which ran out six props as well as a set of gears with three props under the plank; the roof is "blue" with some coal 1 foot 4 inches thick up to a good strong cover and the fall had come away over the whole width of the place, and for 3 yards back from the coal face up to the stronger roof; the place had turned wet the previous two days, which would make the stone greasy and inclined to come away from the parting; there were no signs of any slips in the roof; it is supposed that some props had been knocked out when shooting the coal down, and that deceased was in the act of resetting these when the fall took place
