TUBMAN William - 1889 - 26/07/1889 – Age 45 – Hewer. Dinnington, John Bowes and Partners, Dinnington, Northumberland. Fall of roof.

TUCKER S. - 1880 - 15/07/1880 – Age 35 - Bottom cutter. Risca, Black Vein London and South Wales Coal Co., Risca, Monmouth. Explosion of firedamp 120 killed.

TUCKER Thomas (injured) - 1889 - 28/08/1889 – Age 26 – Quarryman. Oakeley (slate). He was holding the belt of a sawing table away from the main driving shaft while a joint was being made in the belt when, by some inadvertence, he let the belt touch the shaft and he was caught and whirled round and had both arms badly broken. He had neglected to use the regular hook for holding the belt upon such occasions although it was close by. 30 weeks off.

TUCKER Thomas Henry (injured) - 1889 - 25/06/1889 – Age 19 – Miner. Dolcoath (metalliferous), Camborne, Cornwall. Apparently through inadvertence, Tucker, while coming to the surface, got his foot between the step and rod of the man engine and had it severely bruised.

TUCKER William (injured) - 1888 - 01/11/1888 – Age 32 – Miner. Carn Brea (metalliferous), Carn Brea, Cornwall. Whilst being lowered in the gig, appointed for the purpose, the latter got too much way on and ran at a terrific pace to the bottom of the shaft, severely shaking all the 16 men in the gig, and necessitating the seven mentioned being medically attended to. It is very fortunate that the accident was not far more disastrous. I am inclined to attribute it in a great measure to the defective break arrangement. The break was actuated by a screw and extended half way round the fly wheel, but being shod with wrought iron, and not under cover, became exceedingly slippery in wet weather. The engine man appears also to have lost his head and stated that in trying to put on steam against the engine when he found the gig was running too fast he was unable to get the valve to act. It is right to mention that the whole arrangement was new and little experience had been gained in the working of it. If the road had not been in excellent order and the gig constructed of the strongest and best materials there is no doubt that the consequences would have been much more serious. 7 injured.
