COLLIERY ACCIDENT AT PENDLEBURY.

Mr. Geo. 0. Rutter, deputy coroner for the county
of Lancaster, held an inquest at -rendlebury yesterday on •
collier, aged 18 years, ranted Thomas Burrower, killed on
Siturday lost under the following circumstanois. The de•
cease 4 and four other persons were ascending the shaft of
one of Messrs. A. Knowlis and Sans' coal mines, and had
retched within about 25 yards of the top, when the tub, or
cage, in which they stood was subjected toe sudden jerk,
and deceased was thrown out of the cage to the bottom of
the shaft and killed. The others saved themselves by
holding to a rod forming the top of the cage. One of the
colliers in the cage at the time said he believed that if there
bad been sides or bars to the cage breast high no jerk of the
kind could have thrown a person out. He did not know
the cause of the jerk. James Lysooe, a boy 15 years old,
said he was working the steam-engine when the cage with
deceased was being drawn up, and, having his hands
on the levers, felt a sudden check, as if the
rope had slipped. He was of opinion that it was one of the
links of the rhiin at the end of the rope which had dipped.
The chain was formed of long oval-shaped links, and some-
times one of theee links would get at right angles with the
other., so that the links above and below it would be at-
tached to the aides instead of the 'oda of it. In this ease,
if the link suddenly righted itself, a jerk would be
caused like that which was said to hive thrown
deceased from the cage. The jury found a verdict that
the deceived died accidentally, but desired the coroner to
reed a written supgestion from them to Messrs. Knowles
and Sons, that all sages need for drawing men out of
the pits should be made with sides breast high, and that
the links of the chairs attached to them should be made like
those of chain cables for ship., having a short bar 'awe the
' middle of each link from side to side, so that these jerks
could not happen.
