901. Ryhope. Patrick Foley, 51, big price putter.
Died on October 14th, 1917, as a result, it is alleged, of injuries received on August 4th, 1916, when he sprained himself whilst lifting a full tub on the way.
The family consisted of the following :—
Deceased 51, big price putter, £3/7/6. House and coals.
Widow 48.
Son 25, army, 12/6.
Daughter 19.
| Three years' earnings of deceased | £346 | 2 | 8 |
| House and coals | 39 | 0 | 0 |
| £385 | 2 | 8 |
Weekly payments prior to death £43/15/0. Claim made by the widow.
It was stated that deceased had worked from November, 1916, to March, 1917. and was paid compensation until a fortnight before death.
Our medical evidence was to the effect that the injury aggravated deceased's condition and therefore accelerated death, and the Committee failed to agree.
