Held on August 7th 1914
Craghead. William Flood, 52, hewer.
Died on June 16th, 1914, from cerebral haemorrhage. The previous day he was found in his working place in an unconscious condition, but up to the present it has not been suggested that any accident occurred.
The medical evidence at the inquest was to the effect that the haemorrhage had been brought on by prolonged and excessive exertion.
Deceased leaves a widow who is the only dependant.
He had been employed since April, 1912, and had earned on an average £1/13/7 per week.
| Three years' earnings on this average | £261 | 19 | 0 |
| House and coals | 39 | 0 | 0 |
| 300 | 19 | 0 |
The Committee disagreed, and our side will have to decide what further steps will be taken.
