December 1. — An explosion took place in the colliery at Hartley, by which unfortunate event Mr. Curry, the viewer, and four others lost their lives. [LRS]
December 8. — An explosion took place in Long Benton colliery, which burnt one man in a terrible manner ; providentially no further mischief was done, which seemed almost a miracle, as the pit was full of workmen at the time. [LRS]
