Falls of Coal and Stone.

Accident No. 31 took place at Usworth Colliery. The evidence showed that a deputy had been in the working place a short time before the occurrence, and timbered it up, as near the face as he could get it ; but, in the course of working the coal, the deceased had subsequently bared the roof sufficiently to cause a fall of stone, which had come away suddenly at a slip in the strata.
