While riding inbye in an empty tram and having reached the double parting the catch or devil (which was out of order) caught the axle of the fourth tram causing the shackle between it and the third to break, the strain upon the rope caused by the load or journey being thus relieved the trams sprang forward and jerked Jones against the roof causing injuries from which he is alleged to have died.

The rope which was 3,000 yards long was ¾ inches in diameter made of patent improved crucible steel and had been at work for 15 months. It was thought that the front tram had got off the rails and so put extra strain on the rope. Deceased was found partly in a manhole.

JONES Herbert - 1908 - 28/08/1908 – Age 29 - Cymmer Old Collier, Insoles Ltd., Glamorgan. Deceased, having loosened 6 sprags which were set against a face slip, was trying to get a portion of the slip down with a bar, when a much larger quantity of coal than he expected fell, knocked out five posts, and so caused a fall of roof coal, 22 feet by 5 feet by 20 inches thick, which killed him on the spot. The roof coal had slips on three sides, and a smooth above. Four feet seam.

JONES Howell - 1900 - 15/04/1900 – Age 20 - Merthyr Vale No.2 Shackler, Nixons Navigation Co. Ltd., Glamorgan. Struck by an empty tram, part of a journey which got off the rails as it was let down a dip. He died in 3 days.

Deceased and another man were boring a hole for a shot when an explosion occurred injuring them both. Jones died 30th September from shock. It seemed that a portion or the whole of an unexploded charge must have been in the ground and was bored into by these men. Nothing had been done at the spot for some months it was said. Ammonite was the explosive in use.

JONES Hugh - 1901 - 24/07/1901 – Age 44 - Ffaldu Ripper, Ffaldu Collieries Co. Ltd., Glamorgan. Fall of roof on road where deceased and his partner were ripping.

JONES Isaac - 1907 - 10/12/1907 – Age 65 - Marine Lamp carrier, Ebbw Vale Steel Iron and Coal Co. Ltd., Monmouth. On his way to the pit, carrying some lamps, he suddenly fell on a level and roomy road. There seems to be some doubt as to whether he got giddy, or slipped, or stumbled. He seems from the result of a post-mortem to have been suffering from pneumonia at the time and to have been in a very bad state of health. He was seen by a doctor the same day and complained of pains which might have been due to the pneumonia. The shock of falling possibly brought things to it crisis and accelerated death a little but the post mortem showed that he would probably have died very shortly in any case. It scarcely seems a case to be returned as a mining accident. At the same time I do not like to say that is not comprised.

JONES Isiah - 1904 - 10/02/1904 – Age 16 - Bedlinog No.2 Collier boy, Guest Keen and Nettlefolds Ltd., Glamorgan.

Deceased who having gone down in a bowk got out on to the scaffold or cradle in a sinking shaft, slipped or overbalanced and fell backwards into the water six or eight feet below.

He was close to a manhole but had no time to get up into it. The rope was 1.1/8 inches in diameter, and was secured into a 21.75 inches capping by five rivets 4.25 inches apart. No barhook used.

JONES James A. – 1908 – 13/08/1909 – Age 47 – Celynen Master haulier, Newport Abercarn Black Vein Steam Coal Co. Ltd., Monmouth. He appears to have strained (ruptured) himself on this date by lifting a train, he continued to work until August 24th, but not afterwards and died on January 22nd, 1909, from exhaustion caused by cancer. There appears to have been a conflict of opinion among medical authorities as to whether cancer can or cannot result from the effect of a strain or rupture. The doctor who attended the deceased did not apparently diagnose cancer until 20th November. The medical evidence at the inquest the doctor who attended him was to the effect that he died from cancer due to a strain, or if cancerous germs existed before that, death was accelerated by the strain. I understand that the other doctors present at the post mortem (which was made by the doctor attending deceased) dissented from the views expressed, but they were not called by the coroner.

Died from septic pneumonia, possibly the result of a strain, said to have been received at work, by lifting a piece of coal into a tram.

The fall which was 2 feet thick extended over an area about 10 feet by 3 feet and previous to falling was supported by the coal standing on the sprags. A temporary prop set near the "buttock" before removing the sprag would have been a wise precaution and might have prevented the fall of roof at the spot where deceased stood.

The journey blocked against the two trams, and squeezed deceased between the leading tram and the side of one of the trams of stone which he was trying to push clear.
