A miner was killed at the George Mine, Durham, Owing to there being 15 ft. of water in the shaft, which is 115 ft. deep, deceased was unable to start his ordinary work as a miner, and was temporarily engaged in doing odd jobs on the surface. It is presumed that he went past the bar fence fixed across a 6 ft. opening in the wall surrounding the shaft at the ground level, to see how far the water was down, when he had an epileptic seizure and fell down the shaft. In falling, he struck a box kibble suspended 90 ft. from the surface, and then rolled into the water and was drowned. He should not have gone through the fence.
