To Mr Eberto A mine giving off gas is the same as a "fiery mine"

To the Coroner - There was no [?] in our stall. Most of the [?] extend to the roof. I do not know the thickness of the stoppings or how they are filled in. Some are made of brick and stone. Some in the slope are five feet thick and filled in with [?]. I think the [?] was [?]. Am not sure whether the [?] from the shots will settle the [?] or not. The stoppings are [?] to the filled up to the top and they are examined I supported [?] to see whether they work.

To Mr. M. Gregor - The slope is the [?] place I have heard of was giving much gas but I did not consider it dangerous so long as the current of air was good. The stoppings have always worked after and kept up to the roof..

-The the Coronier – There was no cross cut in our stall.  Most of the cross cuts extend to the roof.  I do not know the thickness of the stoppings or how they are filled in.  Some are made of brick and stone.  Some in the slope are five feet thick and filled in with dross.  I think the dross was tamped.  Am not aware whether the [?conversion] from the shots will settle the dross or not.  The stoppings are supposed to be filled up to the top and they are examined I suppose afterwards to see whether they leak.
-The Mr M McGregor – The slope is the only place I have heard of as giving much gas but I did not consider it dangerous so long as the current of air was good.  The stoppings sere always looked after and kept up to the roof.
