Northern Echo, 9 May 1885: THE CLEVELAND MINING FATALITY. An inquest was
held yesterday afternoon that the Miners’ Hospital, Skinningrove, before Mr W
Robinson, deputy coroner, on the body of the man Henry Durham, who was killed
by a fall of stone at Messrs Pease’s Loftus mines on Wednesday last. The
inquiry was attended by Mr Toyne, president of the Cleveland Miners’ Union; Mr
Atkinson, assistant inspector of mines; and Mr William France, manager for Mrs
Pease. George Mabbitt was working with the deceased on Wednesday. During the day
they found no faults, and just finished work, the deceased, Wallace, and
witness remaining to discuss where a hole should be fired in the morning, when
Durham, who was nearest to the face, was struck by a falling stone and killed.
He was not able to say whether stone came from the roof or the face. After the
last shot had been fired they thought the roof was not good, but did not think
it would fall so soon. They kept from underneath as much as possible. Evidence
was given by William Farndale, a deputy, and the jury returned a verdict of
accidental death”.
