786. Wearmouth. George W. Christie, 34, horsekeeper.
Died on February 23rd, 1917, as the result, it is alleged, of injuries received on November 23rd, 1917, when, it was stated, he struck his head against a baulk while coming out-bye
Deceased had been off work a fortnight prior to death, and had sent in a certificate to the office, stating he was unable to work owing to neuritis.
The Coroner's Jury brought in a verdict of accidental death, the result of an injury to the head.
The claim is resisted on the grounds that the accident was not reported, but it is stated that deceased's marrow was with him when the accident occurred.
Deceased leaves a widow, aged 39, and three sons, 11, 7, and 3, wholly dependent.
Three years' earnings with coals amount to £323/1/-. Adjourned.
