Committee Meeting
Held on March 4th 1918
868. Hamsteels. Henry Hilton, 56, hewer.
Killed on August 22nd, 1917, by a fall of stone. Deceased was a single man and lived in lodgings.
He had earned on an average £3/1/5 per week during the last 12 weeks.
A claim for funeral expenses was made by Mr Thomas Platt with whom deceased lodged.
The case was before the Committee on November 6th, 1917, when it was adjourned owing to a claim having been put in by a brother of deceased who lived at Burnley.
That claim has now been abandoned and an award for funeral expenses is asked for.
Funeral expenses awarded.
