[ The inquest ou the _^ ix men left the mine was heM on the 2 nd i _« st . at Hindley , before Mr John Hayes , when a verdict of " Accidental death" waB returned without any adjournment—the-inquest Iaetud about six or seven hours . } At the present inquest some important additional evidence wag elicited . At _Westhougkton Mr Rutter met with the brother of tbe deceased collier , and Richa > d Balton and took his depositions , —to the ( fleet that hi * was in tbe ( it at the time of tbe explosion , but wa 6 gelting clay tu brink up the works , along with bis brother . Tlie last time witness saw his brother ho was takiug - tub of bricks up tlie place where they were building tin stoppings . After tbe explosion three men went into the mine , and got his brother up very much burnt . . The evidence of tbis _witness was _taka-n thut he _miffht not baprevented from attending his brother ' s funeral than about to take place , and this fact will account for thi witness not being produced for Mr _Rsberts , whin asked for , as will be seen below , j
The following is the eviaience taken by Mr Rutter on his arrival , with the jury at Aspul Meor , after _leaviiii Westhoughton to reiumc the _adjourned inquest on Berry . Before proceeding Air _Soberts . attorn , y for the friend * _, of the deceased , asked the aid « f the coroner iu summoning thrie witnesses who had refused to attend . Mr Rutter said they should seo bow far tbey wen necessary after taking the witnesses , ready to be produced . Edward Jones sworn : I live at New Springs . I was in tbe mine at Ince . —Mr _Lancaster ' s mine , —nt the _tima this accident took place . At the lira of ihe explosion l was in tbe second landing from the pit eye , 300 var _. lr from whence it was supposed to have occurred . I ful the force ofthe explosion where I _worfetd . Iliad b < e . i
made acquainted previously with the fact that it -. as _oa fire , but kept on worliiug . The smoke did uot reach us . and ne apprehended no danger . After the explosion J pat on my clothes and came out of the pit , by No . 2 , ov tbe upcast abaft . I went down the other shaft _lutlfau hour subsequentl y , to search for the men who were near the explosion . I went down with Benjamin Berry , but two or three had gon « down b fore . I . know tbey bad bricked up several parts to prevent the fire extending , bo t did not get SO far aft the bricking . 1 _brought out tin Body of John Curttvright , who was about forty yards from ihe bricking . He was half in tbe down-brow and half in thc up-brovr _, with two waggons , where the brick _stoppic-g was blown down , and the two waggons , anal the door were broken . He lay at the third lauding ot
the big level . Tbey had found two other of tha collier * - , and I helped to take them out in a _waggon . The next time I went down the pit to mak _> search for the six bodies left in the mine , was about ten or eleven o ' clock last Thursday week . 1 was _there who ; gome of tbem were found . The first one we found was on theup-brow , _wheraa we had found Car : wri _; Ut . Thai was from twtnty to thiityjaids from the bricking . It was Hurst whom we found first ( the man who is _siiid to hare fired the pit in the first instance . ) Wc found two _othars down in the _fuceend , where they had been work ini * to build up the Ore , and two others we found in a drift nearon 100 yards _fn-m the _b-icking j tliey had gone q lite tbe wrong way to escape from the mine . Have no ! any particular opinion as to the cause ofthe _esplusta-- ;
but we found a lamp with the top unscrewed ; it was f mud where they had discovered tbe body of John Berry . [ Mr Lancaster here _saiil , in answer to a question frmn Mr _Robartg , lhat he could uot produce the lamp , but it would be in the _lamp-house , ind could a > e seen . ] I saw _th-s lamp , and there were four or fire others with me . We found many a lamp—some with tbe tops blown oft '; one was John _Cartwriglit' _-i . I do not know bow to account for the one being unscrewed ; some of them muf t have done ft . They would have light enough from » lamp , 16 _houfd think , to work at the biicking , and tben would be no necessity for any one to take the top off for mere light ; but in the event of them having done so . it ' s my opinion the sulphur would come in contact with th « light , and an explosion might be the _resul t . I ban worked in the mine ever since the pit was forty yard . *
deep . I have fired shots in it ofteu , aod bad fired on < that moruing about ten o ' clock ; I had done it frequent !* before , and we did it sll over . I did not . consider i ' _dangerOUS in the plate Whtre I worked , and there ha--never been any explosion in consequence , cr anything o the sort . The ventilation , where -I worked , was sufficiently good—it was v . ty gooa . Had heard expression * of fear that there was _dtangcr . Had you heard any o > the men complaining of there being sulphur ? I have heard them say it was bad , but uot where I worked . In other parts of tbe mine they have complained that ii was dangerous in fire _shois . Then in those parts jou wohW not have fired shots i So , there was a man burn ! in my place while I wag sick , and away from work .-. week . Why did you fire shots then f Ob , I have fire r many a hundred : 1 generall y know where to try it .
By Mr Roberts : Where did you get powder t Bad ; m > an found his own powder- In what Quantities ? I _hnva bought > t by tha barrel , Was it allowed by the proprietors ? Yes , they all started with powder . And did tin proprietors consent to it * j They knew of it , at first , bu ; I have heard it said they wanted to stop it . Have you 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 underlooker not to use it ? No , not in my time—while I have been coaling . Was the underlooker , George Evans , ever present wham JOU fired a shot ? Yes .
Re-examined by Mr Rutter : The cool is much easier got by firing shots than b y the pick . The bricking , 1 have discovered by examination since the explosion , had not been fully made up ( the _brickingner _etssry to confine the 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 tbe fire occurred . With the exception of the lamp bring unscrewd I cannot account forthe explosion , unless thebrickin ? up ofthe workings might affect the currents of air , ano drive the sulphur hanging along the top of the workings in that direction .
By Mr Roberts ; I have worked at the collier ** a good while—above three or four months j but I had never worked in No . 1 pit before , and there was never an } _sulphur in tlte big level , where I worked . —Did you not say a man was burnt who bad taken your place when you were ill for a week J Yes , that was while I was away , about ten week * ago . —What was his name ? His name waa John Walls . Tie was burnt by the sulphur , and bat never been able to work since . I beliere at that time the explosion blew up the plates at ths top of the brow ( the mouth of the pit ) Mr Roberts : Perhaps , Mr Coroner , you will take that evidence . The Coroner _; It is hardly necessary ; we have evidence of many explosions having occurred from gunpowder _.
Mr Roberts : Bnt they have been slight ones ; this was a most serious one . Bid be not break tbe scaffold at the top of tbe pit t—Witness : It broke the cage , so that be had to take it out ofthe pit . I think it blew one of the doors off ; Walls has not lost his eye-sight ; he can see a little bit . When that took place Walls bad tried to fire two shots , but could not get them off , and he then went and gare up his lamp and took a candle from hit own house . By the Coroner : Was not that dangerous 1 Yes . — Should you work with a candle t I frequently use candles where tbere is no sulphur , but Borne don ' t consider it safe . Mc Lancaster : Will you aik the witness , Mr Coroner , if tbat was while the other men " were , at work , and if it was sot owing to a door having been opened I
Mr gutter : You were notpreaent when this occurred ? Witness i No , but Walla told me all about it . He went down eariey in the morning , when there was no one in the pith-it himself , and he found a door opea which he shut . He tried to fire it wiih his lighted candle about a yard bebisd him , and when he could not fire the train he rammed his lighted tobacco pipe in , and then it exploded , Mr Robert * * . And do you think it safe , after that explosion by Walla to use gunpowder f Why I should not
use it unless I thought it was not very unsafe . The door had brought some sulphur into the place , and that would pause the explosion . Walls was a regular coal . gctter but had been out ol work . We take the powder , some in bags and _norae in candle . boscs , I have never taken above a pound or ¦« at the time of powder to this pit I recollect the collier * saying they did not like being ordered to stop using powder . I never hoard of any order being given to stog it . _Thebrick-stcpping the motwere building _attbetiepe of the present _Mplosion was abont 200 yards , I _shaM-Jfi think from the downcast
shaft . By Mr Rutter : The other . stopping would be a good way from the up . _cast . By Mr Roberts : In using gunpowder you are obliged to use a drill , are jou not : Yes . —Are these drills obliged to be very sharp ? Yeg , very _shnrp . —Wh > _a shoipens them ! The _Maeksia / rh . —Is tbat Mr Lancaster ' s blacksmith ? I don ' t know . —Do you pay him ! _iVo— What fs his namef Thi y call •" . ¦ im John . —And don ' t you know wbose black ? mith Jaihn x' ?

By 3 fa- _It-iberts to the Coroner : Will you _pleasd 1 ° " " 'k '"' that down upon the evidence , sir ! Mr Rutter : Certaialy .

'tbose that cannot sharpen for themselves pay . — Vow fo you think it sifo to uie a candle in u pit where it is _feaown there it sulphur J No , I don ' t think it is , —Then do you still think it is safe to use gunpowder 1 I have kept using it all my lifetime , and I never hud ' an accident . By the Coroner : Have you ever used gunpowder in other pits t Yeg , in all the pits in which I have ever worked . By Mr Roberts ; I never _ffhatpenud my own drills . It is two or three months since I heard speak that the men weeeto _bCKtappeilfroTOusingpowdtr . _Thetops of tbeir lamps were locked so tbat they could not unscrew them , but tbere were little lads had keys , and tbey unlocked i j "?* -- " - * f a _^ _fh _^ mr-ri . ... . .
George Wilson , of Platt-laRe _, Wigan , sworn : I was at the top of thi * pit brow , and about to go down , on the . tny when tlio explosion occurred ; and Thomas Lancaster _asked me to go down , but there were five men brought out before I went down . Jamos _Scbillt-rs then said , " Some of yeu men who have not been down , go down ;" and I went wiih a party , and we went up the big level , and there was a person named Jon-sand another named Berry whom we met , and after meeting them we went on till we came ro Cartwright , and Jones then said , " I think _tha-re iB one li _.-re _da-nd . " B-. Mr _Robeiis : Was in the habit of using gunpowder , and of using a drill , which it wax _noeessary should be very sharp , and the blacksmith sharpened it , Did not know who paid the blacksmith : he did sot pay him ; never paid him . The blacksmith did not sharpen his _pia-las . Tlie underlooker knew he was in tlie habit of us ng gut . powder , and nerer told him not to de it . The Comnca- * Nor any on * else ? No .
By Mr Robert * : I bave worked there ever _sinco tbe 2 ' iih _Msiruh , I have _usad a lamp . —Bid you erer take the top nff ! Yes , when our light was blown cut byfiring a Bhot . —now did you manage them ? We sent them to a man nt tbe bottom , who bad a key , —You can lii _* ht a pipe by tlient 1 _Yats , I have Been them that did it , but I don't smoke . —Is tbis the key of * , lamp ( exhibiting one ) ? Yes . —Mr Roberts : Wh y , bless me , any one could make a key like this ; it is like a common _watch-kty 1 . Tbe first witness was here _rc-callcd , ond the bottom « f a safety lamp was shown him . _Hu aaid the one un--crewud was like the bottom of that . —Mr Lancaster : He never saw it By Mr Roberts : It was s ! iownme , and 1 bad it in my hand , but it was very dirty . like . The top « a _< gone ]
_Georita- Wilaion re-examined : Had _m-vor been told to work without gunpowder before this accident . —[ Mr Lan . _wnter : Will you ask if he bus not refused to work without it ? . —Had been told siaice to do so and objected . By Mr Hubert ** : Why ? Ba _«^ u » e 1 can ' t doit at the _1 _'i'iei ' . —Thon it is only because you are paid less that jou use it _?—Y-. 'B . Then if you were paid more wages aou would have no objection to use the pick ! I would rather use the pick than the gunpowder if I was paid accordingly , —Dain'ithe masters always pay less where gun . powder is used f I should think so , but I have no thorough knowledge of it .
William Brooke sworn : I feund the lamp bottom . I found it the same day as the explosion took place , when searching lor the todies , I found it in the big level . I Wt lanow where it is now . ] just picked it up , but did not examine it : it was not a brass one like that nowprn-• _iiiced : I cannot say if it was unscrewed , or blown off . I never found the top , but I found other lamps , but they were fast , and all right . By Mr Roberts : I went into » he mine after Cartwright was found , but did not find-any ofthe men . Mr Rutter here inquired from Mr Lancaster if George Evans , the underlooker , was sufficiently recovered to be examined . Mr Lane < ster said he waB not , and was not likely to be in a condition for tome time .
The Coron _, r : Ba . x-. iU 8 e he was _engaged in building thtse sti . p _ . ings , and _wa-utd be most likely to give an opinion as to thu cause of the ( _-xplosiam . If lie was likely ton cover wc might adjuurn Ihe ii . quest for a i ' ortuight or three weeks . Mr Lancaster : Well , it is for you to consider tbat . The Coroner : Well , it appears now , Mr Roberta , we havo all the evidence we can get at present ; will you • tare what is the purport of the evidence these men you <• isti to have _suujmoni d could give ? Mr _Roba-rts : I _wou'd rather not do that , sir . I would
vather jou would take my word that they are witnesses who , I believe , could throw an important light ou this explosion . The C' _. roner : Were they in the pit at thc time ! Mr RobertK : Tney were . The Coroner : Miave taken the evidence of one of 'hem tRU'hard _Bailton ) when I _stopped with thejury to view the body of his brother , at _Wetthoughton , and will ead it you . —[ Mr Rutter then read the evidence given hy Richard Bolton — the substance of wbish is given above . ]
Mr Roberts : " Well , 1 have reason to believe , sir , 1 can licit more important evidence from him were he here . The Corona : Well then , perhaps it will be desirable ¦ o aejuurn . Mr Robert . * : Well , then , in addition , I have stveral _important witn _.-sses here . Thu Coroner : Very well , —then we will take their _eviiencenow . Nicholas _Glova'r ( called by Mr Roberts ) : — Examined _>> S lit HvaUtT * . V was in ' . litt mine when this explosion ' _'vappi'iied . I was at the fur end , - in the drift . Thomas _Aspinnll and John Monks were with me . I had only worked tha : re that day .
By Mr Robert .-.: I came out with As _(> innll and Monks . Did yau coiiii _; iu contact with any of these men as you left the mine ? I tumbled orer some one as I was "tuning out ,. —Did thc one _ya > u fell over shriek as from pain 1 No , but he fetched a terrible groan . —Now as you were coming out further ou did / ou hear auy other men ? Veg , I hemd several of theaaa crying out . — Ilowtniaiiy ! Perhaps there might bu four ur five . —D . d any of them call out to you tu go to his assistance ? Yes , alter I fell orer one an- ) eot a little further on witb Titos , Avpinall , [ beard one shout to me , and he _sfiid' IIo ' . ' And I said ' What do you want ? ' He said , ' bring your light , ' and I said 1 ha > i not one . —How long _wbb lt after this tbat the brickiug-up _cgmmeue-id ! I don ' t know : they went down jou know and sent two or three out that wero burnt . —Did you go out , then ? Yes . —How loni ; was that after tlie _bricking-up commenced 1 It WHS About an _Vaour alter .
The Coroner : Is that evidence material after what we have on the depositions ? Mr Roberts : Yes , I believe that persons left in tbe mine were killed by the bricking-up . . The Coroner : But you mnst confine yourself to the evidence touching the death of these two men on whom we » Te holding the _inquest—Bi-rry aud Bolton . We have it in evidence that the bricking-up was done to prevent the sprendiug of the fire , and the rendering of this awful I'alamity more fatal , aud though it may be a question if it was tbe most judicious course , evidence of that will uot apply to these men . Mr Roberts : That depends on the value set upon life _. There may be some who think the meanest life ought not to be sacrificed ; others who think the preservation of the property more important . The _Corom-r -. o the Witness : Why did not jou go aJown ! Because tliey would nut lei me .
Mr Lanoiisrer ; Well let us havo that prorrd up—1 distinotly deny it , and if necessary will have all the men hero _. By the Coroner : I offered myself , but they would not let any one go down but their own men . Mr Roberts : That is just what was said in tbe House of Commons by Mr Duneombe , and it was denied by Mr Lancaster . The Coroner : Whi prevented you from going down J Tho _brow-m-. ui kept shoving all but ih > . ir own men awaj _* . Re shoved more than one—many a one . Were the men shoved away offering to go down ? I don ' t know . ( Much laughter . ) Mr Roberts remonstrated , observing that a solemn inquiry like this was not a fit occasion for laughing , and tho coroner expressed a wish tbat no feeling of the kind might be _displaytd . Mr Roberts tbe | called Richard Heathcoate as a witness who h » d _..-fi ' ered to go down , and was refused _.
Mr Rutter , the coniiit-r , thought that this was not _cridence to the point . Mr Roberta : Well , I will not force him upon you , I only tender the evidence , but don ' t let me be tauuted with having produced no witness to prove the fact . The Coroner ; If tbis man had gone down you 6 eek to make it appear he could have saved the lives of these men ! Mr Roberts : _Thelives of several men . Mr Lancaster . * Mr Coroner , I should much wish this matter to be proved : I cau show that we never refused any one . The Corone ** : I think it scarcely possible to prove tbat , because these t _« omen were not then in the mine , but died after coming out . The case of the six others is another thing .
Mr Roberts * Then I will not trouble you ; but allow me to say that I here tender thu evidence ; that I have also the evidence of Rollison , who was in the pit , and asked to go up the shaft , This was ono of the direct charges made _agatest _lUaio , that _tvlatia men were anxious to get out of tbe pit from thc fire , aud who were burnt , they would net let them go up , aud would not let others go down who wished to rescue tha- men left in the pit , I have ihe evidence of John Berry , who w _& 3 men . tioncd as having offered , and it was denied by Mr Lancaster . Mr Lancaster * . We should liked to bave had J . Berry examined . Thc Coroner : But thatis sot evidence in point . Mr Roberts : Oh , sir , if you would recollect how in tbe case of railway accidents Inquiries quite as apparentl y remote are allowed—how even thc bending of a piece of iron in made the subject of tho minutest inquiry .
The Coroner : The evid-. nce respecting gunpowder is of a similar character , aud that might be the cause of accident , and it wiU _probubiy bceomo a proper subject for the legislature to sny if it should be disallowed . Mr Roberts * . There is one further witness , Bolton , I would hare lilted to question . i The Coroner : Well , I am in thc hands of thejury li they think it necessary they shall be called , but it doss appear tome that tho most _important evidence . vould be that of the two Evanses , who were burnt , and who being - . here the _explos . on took place cenld best satisf y the ur .- if this _•«« ace _ dent or not . » already satisfied .
