Fearful Accident
A very melancholy accident, which terminated fatally, occurred recently at the Rodderup Fell mine. It appears that, as one of the miners named William Craig was engaged at his work, a stone weighing nearly two cwt fell on the back of his neck, and forced his throat so violently against a piece of timber which he was lifting, the he died of the injuries he received on the following day.
