Bell, Francis, 30 Nov 1900, aged 22, Hewer, While engaged hewing some stone fell away at a slip close to the face, canting out several props. [Inspection made & inquest attended]

Black, George, 27 Mar 1899, Hewer, Died suddenly about two hours after returning from his work, and it was alleged that it was due to carbonic acid poisoning. The medical evidence did not, however, bear out this theory, and the jury accordingly returned a verdict "That death was due to natural causes." [fatality reported during the year but not classified as a colliery accident]

Cameron, Joseph, 21 Sep 1896, aged 68, Hewer, He was working in a 4-yards bord, the roof of which was bad and full of "slips." A small trouble ran diagonally across the place from the right, and there was a slip running along the right hand side of the place. In working out the coal, he bared another slip at the face, and the stone came away from these slips, tapering off to a feather edge. One prop was canted out. An official was in about half hour before and considered the place safe, but it is doubtful, considering the nature of the roof, whether he should not have had another plank set. The nearest to the face was 6 feet away [Inspection made & inquest attended]
