Killed on 26th October, 1925, by a fall of stone.

He had been employed for 136 weeks and had earned on an average £2/0/1 per week.

| Three years' earnings on this average | 312 | 13 | 0 |
| House and Coals | 39 | 0 | 0 |
| £351 | 13 | 0 |
The grandchild will be 15 years in 746 weeks.
746 weeks multiplied by £2 = £1,492.
15% of £1,492 = £223/16/0.
So that £300 plus £223/16/0 = £523/16/0.
