No. 3 on the list occurred at Storey Lodge Colliery, belonging to the North Beechburn Coal Company, Limited, on the 13th of January about 5 o'clock p.m., causing the death of Thomas Parkin, an onsetter. The accident was caused by the hauling engineman mistaking the position of the empty set. It was standing in the "dish" at the shaft bottom with the rope attached to it ; the engineman, however, thought it was in-bye on the engine plane (a mistake he should certainly not have made), and to give the set a start drew it back and knocked against some empty tubs which in their turn caught deceased and carried him into the middle of the shaft against one of the skeets, injuring him internally. He died on the 8th of February.
