Esh. Anthony Maddison, 66, shifter.
Died on November 29th, from (Carbon Mon-oxide poisoning, resulting from shot firing. The air was bad from November 22nd to 25th, and when Maddison came home on Friday, November 26th, he complained to his wife that he had a pain in the chest owing to had air. Deceased took to his bed on Friday night, and died on Monday, November 29th. At the post-mortem it was agreed that death was due to Carbon Mon-oxide poisoning, the result of bad air received in the pit. The Owners resisted the claim on the grounds that there has been no accident.
Our side felt the case should go to Court, and the Committee therefore, failed to agree.
