| Notes: | A tub, which he and his mate were taking down a gateway, got off the rails with the last wheels. He then went in front and swayed down while his mate lifted at the back end of the tub. As soon as the tub was got on to the rails it was more than he could hold and he was carried and fatally crushed against a train of full tubs standing 20 yards further down the gateway. His mate said they had put lockers in the wheels of the tubs but they had fallen out when the tub got off the rails |
