Mr. Frank A!len, the District. Coroner, arranged with them that the inquest on Rowell, Jackson and Burns Manvers Main man who was gassed while working at the recovery of bodies) should be deffered to September the in the colliery I manager’s at Cadeby at 3-30 in afternoon.

This adjournment is due a desire on the part of the Coroner that the whole inquiry into the death of these 15 men remaining from the second explosion should be cleared up at one time and that the evidence on the death Burns should be taken also.
