Deceased was riding on a journey of rubbish up to the tip when he fell off, and was run
over. He was injured so badly that he died on October 30th.

Deceased was said to have got into an empty journey that had just been drawn up to the
top of an incline, to throw out some tools which he had put in, when the journey is said
to have moved on, and he fell under one of the trams. It is more likely that he had
ridden up in one of the trams, and that, in jumping out before the journey stopped, he
fell and was run over.

Deceased and a repairer were collecting trams in which to send timber down the pits. Deceased saw one, partly full of coal, at the screen where the coal for the colliers is tipped. He stood on the screen bars, pulled out the coal, and it is thought that he was pushing the tram out of the tipping plate, when, by so doing, he must have raised the front end up. However it was done, the tram got up over the ends of the upward curved rails and ran down the screen, taking deceased with it. He was found lying on the ground with one end of the tram on his hip. He died in a short time. Electrocuted. See report on page 35.

hole in the outer rim, connecting the arms of the centre wheel and drove a plug in to
crack it through. As soon as it cracked half the wheel fell and deceased fell on it, a
distance of 16 feet. An old crack was then found around the boss of the wheel, so that
when the upper connection was broken the weight of the casting broke the other
connection.

Deceased was standing on a cart which was being filled with manure, when the horse started forward and he fell to the ground and broke his neck.

Deceased was shoveling clay off a ledge 8 ft. wide, when about a ton of clay fell from the face of the overburden and buried him. He was so badly crushed, and his face so severely out by falling on the shovel, that he died shortly after. The clay had been overhanging.

As deceased was barring a piece of limestone 6 ft. by 2 ft. by 9 ins. thick off its bed, it tumbled towards him, and forced the bar against his leg and fractured it, and bruised his pelvis. It had fallen 4 ft., and had turned completely over. He died from shock on 5th December.

Deceased was removing overburden, and in working the stump of a tree loose he slipped and fell to a ledge about 12 ft. below. The tree stump fell after him, and crushed him to death. Deceased had charged a hole in the limestone, on a ledge 10 ft. above the ground, and was last seen stooping to cut the fuse, when he by some means fell to the bottom. The ledge was only 2 ft. by 18 ins., and it was thought that in straightening himself after stooping he overbalanced. He sustained a deep cut on the back of his head, never recovered consciousness, and died in a few hours. A chain hung close to him.
