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”.
