Nov 12. DREADFUL ACCIDENT. On Saturday last, a dreadful accident happened at Nofold Pit, near Ruardean, in this county. Six colliers were coming up from the pit in a skip, (the usual number being only four,) when the rope by which the skip was suspended gave way, and the whole being precipitated to the bottom of the shaft, we regret to say that four were killed on the spot. Their names were THOMAS BLANCH, aged 18, ELIJAH BLANCH, 14, TIMOTHY AMBURY, 16, and EMANUEL AMBURY, 19, and inquests being held on the bodies before J Cooke, Esq. Coroner, a verdict of Accidental Death in each case was returned. The other two men were dreadfully injured, but under the judicious care of Messrs ABELL and HEARNE, of Mitcheldean, hopes are entertained of their recovery.
