FATAL ACCIDENT INQUIRY
At Kilmarnock Sheriff Court yesterday a fatal accident inquiry was held before Sheriff Mackenzie and a jury into the death of JOHN HIGGINS, miner, New Street, Stevenston, who was fatally injured in No. 5 Pit, Auchenharvie Colliery, on 16 April last, by being struck by a hutch which had accidentally broken away from workings further up the pit.
The jury found accordingly, and added their opinion that sufficient care was not exercised by the men in the workings above to sprag the wheels or use other means to prevent the hutch getting away down the incline.
