Delves. Thomas Kelly, 32, hewer.
Died on May 20th, 1914, from asthenia following tuberculosis of the lungs and intestines. It was alleged that death was the result of injuries received by Kelly on May 30th, 1913, when his back was bruised by a fall of stone.
Deceased was a single man and lived with his married sister.
The family consisted of the following :— Deceased 32, hewer, £1/3/3; sister, brother-in-law; father 70, labourer, 19/0; mother 71.
Deceased had been employed since April 12th, 1912, and had earned on an average £1/8/4.
Three years' earnings at this average £221/0/0. Weekly payments prior to death £40/18/2. There was a medical statement from Dr. Hume, which was against the death being caused by an injury. We had no medical evidence to contradict that statement, and prove that death was the result of an accident.
