Amington Colliery, Warwickshire, 14th November. — One man killed. Deceased, who was a stallman, was clearing up some coal from a small fall of roof, which had been caused by weight coming on the face of his stall. A further heavy fall occurred and deceased received injury to his spine and died in hospital the same day. He was an experienced workman and it is stated that he tried the roof before working under it. The junction of the road and face where he was working was supported by trees and lids, and it would appear that, if props and bars had been put under the junction, the accident might have been avoided.
