St. Hilda. William Findlay, 32, hewer.
Died on September 21st, 1913, from intestinal obstruction. It is alleged that death had been caused by a strain which deceased received whilst lifting a tub on September 18th, 1913. Death was due to intestinal obstruction following operation for appendicitis. The local doctor said the strain might have contributed to the death. The only dependent left is the mother, a widow. Three years' earnings £362/14/0.
In this case there was a disagreement, and whether we take it further will depend upon our side of the Committee.
