COLLIERY ACCIDENT.—Mr. Thorneycroft (deputy
coroner) held an inquest on 'Thursday, at the Bell
Hotel. on the body of Thomas Steward (57), collier,
of Church Hill, lately employed at No. 37 pit,
Wallows Colliery, Pensnett. Mr. W. B. Scott. the
Government inspector, and Mr. Griffiths, tha man-
ager of the colliery, attended the enquiry.—Steward
was at work on Saturday between ten and eleven
o'clock, when a fall of coal took place. He was
struck by the mass, and so seriously injured that he
died on Sunday last. Evidence was given to show
that the place was well timbered and considered
safe. A front "slip thing" had been noticed but not
one at the rear, and it was the latter that brought
down the coal.—ln answer to Mr. Scott, a witness
said a tree set ;war this might have prevented tile
fall.—A doggy, named Cadman, said there was
plenty of timber near, and Steward could have set
a tree if he had cared to do so. —;The Coroner re-
Irked that for want of a little more care the man's
life had been lost. It was one of the cases in which
no one was criminaley responsibl9. and some blame
attached to the man himself, A verdict of "accidental
death" was returned.
