Nearly 300 miners from a neighbouring colliery were summoned at Gateshead on Thursday for having absented themselves from work after a fatality in a pit.
The owners, it was said, had agreed that in future if a fatality occurred before three in the afternoon the pit should be idle that day, and if after three it should be idle that and the following day.
The summonses were withdrawn.
