Details: To the memory of ROGER CLEGHORN, Who was killed by a fall of coal in the Wallsend Mine on April 21; 1873, - Aged 46. This tablet has been erected by the Messrs. Learmouth, his late employers at Egerton, Victoria, as a tribute to his honesty, truthfulness, and faithful service., Be ye also ready. Cleghorn and his son Robert were working in an eight-yard bord on the day of the accident, when a shot hole from the next bord blew out a portion of the coal pillar in the working place of the Cleghorns. From the evidence given at the Inquest it appears that the miners in the adjoining bord had prepared the shots, but only gave notice that they intended firing one. When warned about the first, the Cleghorns went out of danger, but returned to work after the shot was fired, and had barely recommenced operations when the second charge exploded. A piece of the coal, which was scattered by the explosion., struck Roger Cleghorn on the head, killing him and knocking down the son. Mr. J. Y. Neilson, the colliery manager, who was in the vicinity at the time, also received some slight injury
