• rim MKiUifisa HALL COAL-PIT EXPLOSION . — THREE MORE DEATHS . Apjoukseb Is « os 8 * . —^ Since our last publication an attempt has bee * made'to get out the remainder of the sufferers by the explosion—five men and a boy—all of whose lifeless bodies were found vtheretbey were supposed to have been left , near the walls built up to prevent the spread of the fire . This made nine persons to whom the shocking calamity 'had proved fatal , and we regret to say that since then three more of those burnt , but got out of tbe pit alWe , have since been added to tbe Ms * of
deceased . The names of the unfortunate wen arc—Jolm Bolton , son of Thomas Bolton , of Wcstbomjhton , aged eighteen ; John ftiley , of Wignn , and Robert Southern , of Wtgan . Of these men ' oho only < tbe first ) died within thejurisriiction of Mr Rutter , the coroner oftheSalford hundred , and the jury who met recently at Aspui were summoned to meet Mr Rutter , on the 8 ih imt . at Westhoughtoa , to < view the body of BoHor * , and they then accompanied him to the house -of Mr Pendlebury , the Running Horses , Aspul Moor , to resume the evidence as to ttecauseof tbe accident .
[ Theinquest-on the sis men left in the mine was held on the 2 nd inst . at IUudley , Wore Mr John Hayes , when verdict of "Accidental death" « as returned without any adjournment—the inquest lasted about six or seven hours , ! At the present inquest some important additional evidence was . eliciud . At Wcsthoughton Mr Rutter met with the brother of the deceased collier , and Richard Bolton , and task his depositions , —to the effect that he was in tbe pit at the time of the explosion , but was get . ting-elay to brick up the works , along with his brother . Tbe last time wirness saw his brother be was taking c tub of bricks up the place where they were building the stoppings . After the explosion three men went into tinnine , and got his brother up very much burnt . [ The evidence of tbis witnws was taken that be might not bi prevented from attending his brother ' s funeral thin about to take place , and tbis fact will account for thi witness not being produced for Mr Rtbertu , whin asked for as will be- seen below . ]
The following is the evidence taken by Mr Sutter on his arrival , with the jury at Aspul Me « r , after leaving Westhoughton to resume tbe adjourned inquest on Berry . Before proceeding Mr Roberts , attormy tor tbefriendf of the deceased , asked the aidef the coroner in summoning three witnesses who had refused to attend . Mr Rutter said they should see bow far they wen necessary after taking the witnesses ready to lie pro duced . Edward Jones sworn : I live at New Springs . T wat in the mine at lnce . —Mr Lancaster ' s mine , —at the tinn tliii accident took place . At tbe tinv of the explosion 1 was in tbe second landing from the pit eye , 300 jarri .-from whence it was supposed to have occurred . 1 fi-1-theforceoftho explosion where I worked . Iliad bee . )
made acquainted previously with the fact that it »> as oi tire , but kept' on working . ' The smoke did not reach us . and we apprehended no danger . After the ' explosiun 1 put on toy clothes and came out of the pit , by No . 2 , oi the upcast abaft . ' I went down ; the other shafthalfm . hour subsequently , to se * rch for the n »« n who were near the explosion . I went down with Benjamin Berry , bu » two or three had gone down b fore . I know they hud bricked up several parts to prevent tbe fire extending , but did not get so far as the bricking . '' 1 brought out tlifbody of John Cartwright , ' who was about forty yard * from the bricking . lit- was half in the down-brow nni : half in the up-hrow . with two waggons , where the brick stopping was blown down , and the two waggons , ami the door were broken . He lay at the third landing ol
the big level . ThTy had found two other of tin colliers , and I helped to take them out in a wupgon . The next time 1 went down the pit to maksearch for the fin . bodies left in 'he mine , was about ten oreleveri o ' clock last Thursday week . I was there whin some of them were found . The first one we found w * s on theup-brow , where wehadfound Cartwright , That was from twenty to thirty yards from the bricking . It was Hurst whom we found first ( the man who is ssid n > have fired the pit in the ttist instance . ) We found two others down in the free end , where they had been work tag to build up tbe lire , and two others we found in » drift near on 100 yards fr „ m tbe b . icking ; they bad gone q rite the wrong way to escape from the mine . Havenoi any particular opinion as to the cause of the evplosiug ;
but we found a lump with the top unscrewed ; it was f ) U « d where they had discovered the body of John Berry fMr Lancaster litre said , in answer to a question frvin Mr Roberts , that he could not produce the lamp , but it would be in tbe lamp-house , « , d could Ve wen , ] I saw the lamp , and there were four or five others with roe . We found many a kmp—some With the tops blown of ?! one was John Cartwrie , hi ' tf , I do not know l ) OW to account for the one being unscrewed ; some of them mun have done It . They would have light enough from a lamp , I should tbink , to work at the biicking , and there Would be no necessity for any one to take tbe top off for mere light ; but in the event of them having done so it ' s my opinion the sul phur would come in contact with the lig ht , and an explosion might'be tbe result . I bnvi worked iu the mine ever since the pit was forty yards
deep . 1 have fired shots in it often , and had fired onthat morning about ten o ' clock ; I had done it frequent !} before , and we did it all over . I did not consider v dangerous in the place win re I worked , and there hat ' - never been any explosion in consequence , < r anything o : the sort . The ventilation , where I worked , was suflicieutlygood—it was very good . Had beard expressions of fear that there was danger . Had you heard any oi the men complaining of there being sulphur * I haw heard them say it was bad , but not where I worked . In other parte of tbe mine tbey have complained that it was dangerous in fire shots . Then in those ports yon would not have fired shots ? No , there was a man burnt in my place while I was sick , and away from work r . week . Why did you fire shots then ! Oh , I have firet . many a hundred : I generall y know where to try it .
By Mr Roberts : Where did you get powder ? Esclman found bis own powder . In what quantities ? Ihavt bought it by the barrel . Was it allowed by the proprietors t Yes , they all started with powder . And did th . proprietors consent to it « They knew of it , at first , but I have beard it said they wanted to stop it . Hare yon ever been told by the underlooker , never to use it « No , I have not been coaling long . Will you answer th . question—have you ever been told by the undetlookt-t notto use it ! No , not in my time—while I have been coaling . Was the underlooker . George Evans , over present whin you fired a shot ? Yes .
. Reexamined by Mr Rutter : The coal is much easier gotby firing shots than by the pick . The bricking , 1 have discovered by examination since the explosion , had not been fully made up ( the brickink nece > sary to confintthe fire to one place . ) When we went down on Thursday week the fire was out . He had since brought out some cinders of coal from the facing where the fire occurred . W ith the exception of tbe lamp being un * crewo I cannot account for the explosion , unless the brickitip up of the workings might aftVct the currents of air , « n , i drive the sulphur hanging along the top of the workings in that direction .
By Mr Robins ; I have worked at the colliery a good white—above three or four months ; but I had never worked in No . 1 pit before , and there was never ant sulphur in the big level , where I worked . —Did jou not say a man was burnt who had taken your place when you were ill for a week ! Yes , that was while I was away ; about fen week * ago . —What was his name f His name was John 'Walls . He uai burnt by the sulphur , and has never been able to work since .. I believe at that time the explosion blew up the plates at the top of the brow ( the mouth of the pit ) Mr Roberta : Perhaps , Mr Coroner , you will take that whence . The Coroner : It is hardly necessary ; we have evidence of many explosions having occurred from gun . powder .
Mr Roberts : Butthey have been slight ones ; this was a most serious one . Did he not break the scaffold at the top of the pit!—Witness : It broke the cage , so that be had to take it out of the pit . I think it blew one of tbe doors off ; Walls has not lost his cye-sight ; he cars see a little bit . When that took place Walls had tried to fire two shots , but could not get them off , and ho then went and gave up bis lamp and took a candle from big own house . By the Coroner : Was not that dangerous ! . Yes . — Should you work with a candle ? I frequently use candles where there is no sulphur , but some don't consider it safe . Mr Lancaster : Will yon aek the witness , Mr Coroner , if that was while the other men were at work , and if it was not owing to a door having been opened ?
Mr Rutter : You were not present when this occurred ? Witness : No , but Walls told me all about it . He went down earlcy in the morning , when there was no one in the pit but himself , and he founds door open which he shut . He tried to fire it with his lighted candle about a yard behind him , and when he could not firo the train be rammed his lighted tobacco pipe ia , and then it
exploded . Mr Roberts : And do you think it safe , after that explosien by Walls to use gunpowder ? Why I should not use it unless I thought it was not very unsafe . The door bad brought some sulphur iuto tbe place , and that would cause the explosion . Walls was a regular eoal-getter but had been out ol work . W „ take the powder tome ' in bags and some in candle-boxes , I have never taken above a pound or so at the time of powder to this pit I recollect tbe colliers saying they did not like being ordered to stop using powder . I never hoard or anv order being giv . n to stop it . Thebrick-Ktcpoing the VftVtt were building at the lime of the present explosion was about 200 yards , I should think ftom the dotnecast shaft . B , Mr Rutter : Tbe other stopping would be a good way from the up . cast . b
By Mr Roberts : In using gunpowder you are obliged to use a drill , are jounot ! Yes .-Are those drills obhged to be very sharp ? Yes , very sharp .-Who sharpens them ?

By the Coroner : Have you overused guspowderin Other pits ! Yes , in all tbe pita , in ^ blch I have over worked . T By Mr Roberts : I never sharpened ray own drills . " Is two or three months since I heard speak that the men were to be stopped from using powder . The tops of their lamps were locked so that they oould not unscrew them , but there were little lads had keys , and they unlocked , tfiw fo * tb" men ,
George Wilson , of . Platt-lane , Wignn , sworn : I was at the top of the pit brow , and about to go down , on the day when the explosion occurred ; and Thomas Lancaster asked mo to go down , but there were five men brought out . befttfe I went down . James Sehillers then said , "Some of you men who baire not . been down , go down ;" and I went with a party , and we went up the big level , .. ud there was u person named Jones and another named Berry whom we met , aud after meeting them we went on tilt we came to Cartwcintu , and Jones then said , " I think there is one hi re dead . " By Mr Roberts : Was in the habit of using gunpowder , and of using a drill , which it was necessary should be rery sharp , and the blacksmith sharpened it . Did not know who piid the blacksmith : he did not pay him : never paid him , The blacksmith did not sharpen his picks . The underlonker knew he was in the habit of us tig gunpowder , and never told him not to do it . The Coroner Nor any ono else ! No .
By Mr Roberts : I have worked there ever since the 'J ' Hli Murch . I have used u lamp . —Did you ever take die top off ? Yes , when our light win blown cut by firing a shot . —How did you . manage them ! We sent lhem ti , a man at the bottom , who had a key ,- —You can luht a pipe by them ! Yes , I have seen them thai ' did it , but I don ' t smoke . —Is this the key of a lamp ( exhibiting one )? Yes . —Mr Roberts : Wh y , bless me , pay one could make a key like this ; It is like a common watch-key t . . ' '' , ' , ' " ; ' . . , { The first vritnesswas here recalled , and th . e . bbttom , > f a safety lamp » as shown him . He said 'the . ' one un-• crewed was like the bottom of that . —Mr Lancaster : He never saw it —By lir Roberts : It woe shown me , and I had it in my band , but it was very dirty-like . The top was ttooe V
George Wil- > on re-examined : Had never , 'been' told to work without gunpowder before this acciden * .-7- [ Mr Lan . uaster : Will you ask if he has not refused ' to , work'vuthiiutit ?]—Had been told since to do so and objected . By Mr Roberts : Whj 1 Bteiuso I oun't'do it . lit the iiritv . —Then it is , only because you arc paid less that you use it!— - Yes . ' Then if you were paid more wages \ ou would have ro objection to use the pick t I would ratbt-r use the pick than the gunpowder if I . waspaid ac . cordingly . —Doii ' i the masters always pay less where gunpowder is used i I should think so , but I have ho . thorough knowledge of it . .. '" . ' .
. William Brooke sworn : I found the lamp bottom , I found it the simie day as the explosion took place , when searching 'or the bodies . I found it in the big level , I don ' t knew whore it is now . 1 just picked it upj but did not examine it ' : it was nbt ' a brass one like that nowpr <> - tuccdV ' l cannot , say if it was unscrewed , or blown off , I ttfcvi-r found the top , but I found oiber lamps , but they nere fast , and all right . By Mr Roberts : " l went into the mine after Cartwright was found , ' but did not u ' nd any of the men . Mr Rutter hereinquired , from Mr Lancaster if George Evans , the underlooker , was sufficiently recovered to be examined . Mr Lancaster said he ' was not , and was not likely to be in a condition for tome time .
The Cororn r : Because be was engaged in building these stoppings , and wi uld be most likely to give an opinion as to the cause of the explosion . If he was likely to ri cover wc might adjourn tbe inquest for a fortnight or three weeks . Mr Lancaster - . Well , it is for you to consider that . The Coroner : Well , it appears uoiv , Mr Ro oerU , we have all the evidence we can get at pi-ws .-nt ; wiii you •¦ tute what is the purport of the evidence these men you wish to have surnmumd could give ? Mr Roberts : I would rather not do that , sir . I would rather you would take my word that th « y are witnesses who , I believe , could throw an important light on tiiisexplosion . , ....... TheCi . ironer ; Were they in the pit at the time ! Mr Roberts : They were .
The Coroner : I have taken the evidence of one ot them ( Richard Bolton ) when I stopp ? d with the jury to view the body of his brother , at Westhougkton , and will tead it you . —[ Mr It utter , jben . read the evidence given by Richard Bolton— , tJre substance of which is given above . ] . _ ; ,........ ' Mr Roberts : Well , I have reason to believe , sir , I can licit more important evidence from him were he here . The Coroner : Well then , perhaps it will be desirable to nr-jnum . Mr Roberts : Well , then , in addition , I have ssytril nnportunt witnesses here . The Coroner : Very ml ) , —then we will take their evidence now , Nicholas Glover ( called by Mr Roberts ) : —Examined oy Mr Rutter : 1 was in \ h « mine when this explosion uppuued . 1 was at the far end ,- in the drift , Thomas Aspiunll and John Monks were with me . I hud only Worked there that day .
Bv Mr Roberts : 1 tame out with Aspinnll and Monks . Did yttu cumo in contact with any of these men as you left the mine ? I tumbled over some one as I was coining out . —Did the one you fell over shriek as from pain ? No , but he fetched a territde groan . —Now as you were coming out further on did you hear any other men ! Yes , I heard several of them crying out . —How many ! I ' erhaps there might be four or five . —Did ' anyof them call out to you to go to his assistance ! . Yes , . alter . I tell over one . and got a little , further on . wiib . f tios , ' Aspinall , I heard one shout to roe , and be said'Ho 1 ' . And I said ' What do you want ? ' . He said ,, ' bring , your lig ht , ' »«
., , „ , the Coroner : Is that evidence maUrjal , ' afier . what we have on the depositions 1 > ,, ,--, ;• ,. ,., ' . Mr Roberts : -Yes , I' believe , that , persons left m the mine were killed by the bricking-up . ¦ -, ,, 1 ., ,,,, . . The Corc-wer ; But y < m myi » t .. confine , yourself ] to the evidence touching the death of these two men on whom ive are holding the inqiie ; t— BvTry and Bqiton ... Wc have it in evidence that the . bricking-up was " done to prevent the spreading of tbe fire , and the rendering of this awful caUmUy more fatal , and tliouisU it B \ ay . be a question if it was the most . judicious course , evidence of that will not apply to these men . Mr Roberts : That depends on the value set upon life . There may be some who think ibe meanest life ought not to be sacrificed ; others who think the preservation of the property more important . The Coroner to the Witness : Why did not you go tiown ? Because they would not let me .
Mr Lancaster : Well let us have that proved up—1 distinctly d « uj it , and if necessary will have all the men here . By the Coroner : I offered myself , but they would not letany one go down but their own men . Mr Roberts : That is just what was said in the House of Coramous by Mr Duncombe , and it was denied by Mr Lancaster . The Coroner : Wh- > prevented you from going down * The brow-man kept shoving all but tk- ir own men away . He shored more than one—many a one . Were the men shoved away offering to go down ? I don ' t know , ( Much laughter . ) Mi- Roberts remonstrated , observing that a solemn inquiry like this was not a fit occasion for laughing , and the coroner expressed a wish chat no feeling of the kind might be displayed . Mr Roberts then called Richard Hcnthcoate as a wit . ncss who had offered to go down , and was rtfnsed .
Mr Rutter , the coroner , thought that this was not evidence to the point , .. ' . ' , ' Mr Roberts : Well , I . will not force him upon you , I only tender the evidence , but dewV let me be taunted with having produced no witness to prove the fact . The Coroner ; If this man bad gone dawn you seek to make it appear he could bay ? saved the lives of IhOSeman ! Mr Roberts ' : The lives of several men , Mr Lancaster : Mr Coroner ; I should much wish this matter to be proved : i can show that we never refused

Mr Roberts : Then I will not trouble you , ' but allow me to say that I here tender the evidence ; that I have also the evidence ofRollison , who was in the pit , and asked to go up the shaft . This was one of the direct charges made against them , that when men were anxi . ous to get out of the pit from the fire , and who were burnt , tbey would not let them go up . and would not let others go down who wished to rescue th- men left in the pit . I have the evidence of John Berry , who was menrioned as having offered , and it was denied by Mr Lancaster Mv jATimter . ^ S ' e should liked to have had J . Berry examined . The Coroner : But that is not evidence in point .
Mr Roberts - . Oh , sir , if yon would recollect how in the case of railway accidents inquiries . quite as apparentl y remote are allowed—how even the bending of a piece of iron is made the subject of the minutest inquiry . The Coroner : The cvidi-nce respecting- gunpowder is of a similar character , and that might be the . cause of accident , and it will probubly become a proper subject for the legislature to sny if it should be disallowed Mr Roberts : There is ono further witness , Bolicu , I nould have liked to question . <« •«•« /* The Coroner : Well , I am in tbe bands of the jury if hey think > t necessary the , shall be called , but it doo ' appear tome that the most important evid . nco muSZ hat o . the two Evanses , who were burnt , Z 2 illt where the explosion took p . ** could bes sSfv he W « t thi ., wo ,- e ail acuIdent 01 . , * " > * «> already satisfied .

So far as this locality is concerned , wo could get as many hamts as signed the National Petition Here ' ; and we look upon a discussion in the House of Commons as being a very good means of publishing to the .
