Shotton. S. D. Butler, 39, hewer.
Died on January 4th, 1915, as the result, it is alleged, of a blow on the head by a fall of stone on December 8th, 1914. Deceased died of kidney disease and there is no evidence to show that death was the result of the accident.
Deceased left a widow, two daughters aged 10 and 1, and two sons aged 8 and 2 wholly dependant.
He had been employed as a hewer since November, 1913, and had earned on an average £1/13/0 per week.
| Three years earnings on this average | £257 | 8 | 0 |
| House and Coals | 39 | 0 | 0 |
| 296 | 8 | 0 |
This was also a case where we could not prove a connection between the accident and death and the claim therefore had to fail.
