Deceased was in the act of making a foot-hole for a prop to the top coal, when a fall occurred causing fatal injuries.

By some means the tram, which, according to the haulier had four sprags in the wheels, started running down the heading and injured deceased so severely that he died in 12 days.

As he was talking to this driver, the four wagons, which he had left above, moved quietly down the road and crushed him against some empty wagons, which were standing, scotched, on the same road.
