On the 22nd March John Tatham, 27, and Samuel Brown were working together in the back shift at Tudhoe Colliery. At about 1.15 p.m. they had filled a tub with coal, and Brown was putting on the token when a fall of stone occurred completely covering the unfortunate Tatham. After the debris was removed, the injured man was taken home. His wife Elizabeth said "he was brought home from work much about the head, bruised and crushed about the body". Tatham died the same night.
