Roddymoor. Andrew Collingwood, 57, shifter.
Died on April 3rd, 1914, from heart disease. It was alleged that death had been accelerated by an injury to the head, which deceased received on May 5th, 1913. Compensation was paid in respect of this injury until August 30th, 1913, when deceased resumed work. Dr. McCullagh attended the post-mortem examination, and reported that the accident accelerated the death. Dr. Pearson for the Owners said there was no connection between the accident and the death.
Deceased leaves a widow and three infant children, wholly dependent. He had been employed as a shifter since August, 1913, and had earned on an average £1/13/6 per week.
| Three years’ earnings on this average | £261/6/0 |
| House and coals | 39/0/0 |
| 300/0/0 |
Weekly payments prior to death, £15/3/0.
Committee disagreed. Our side will see the doctors, and will then decide what shall be done further with the case.
