Horden. William Dawson, 18, engineman.
Dawson had all the fingers of the left hand and part of his hand taken off by an engine wheel on November 10th, 1915. The claim is resisted on the grounds that the accident did not arise out of Dawson's employment, as he was rubbing the teeth of the gearing wheel whilst the engine was in motion.
Dawson was undoubtedly guilty of serious and wilful misconduct, but the accident arose out of his employment, and being serious permanent the claim was allowed.
