  That's brilliant thanks Millmoor and Stan. Hopefully if the papers have reported the initial hearing there may be later reports on the case? Is this from the British Newspaper Archive or other online source; do you know if the Journal and Courant are available at a record office/library? 
I have to admit to being quite saddened, I have a lot of miners in the old family tree and none to my knowledge had died as a result of their work until I discovered the nature of Richards death. Looking at the Roll of Honour on the Durham Mining Museum website it is tragic the number of lives lost in the industry. Thanks again.
