859. Sherburn Hill. Alfred Ray, 55, hewer.
Died on April 20th, 1917, as a result, it is alleged, of injuries received (fractured sternum) on July 6th, 1910, when he tripped on a sleeper and was run into by a set of tubs. The Official Medical Referee reported in 1914 that the incapacity was not due to the accident, and compensation was stopped. At the post mortem Dr Harrison stated that the death was accelerated by the accident.
Deceased left a widow aged 53 wholly dependent.
Three years' earnings with house and coals £199/15/5.
Weekly payments prior to death £152/12/0.
We could not obtain any medical evidence that death had in any way been accelerated by the accident, and the Committee therefore disallowed the claim.
