Compensation Committee

1827. Ushaw Moor. Henry Kipling, 16, driver and putter.

On February 16th, 1915, Kipling alleged he injured his back whilst lifting a tub. He worked until February 25th, and then fell off and started on March 14th. The Owners contended Kipling was suffering from boils that had no connection with the accident. The case was before the last Committee, when it was adjourned to enable the Lodge to have an opportunity of producing further medical evidence, but this they were unable to do, and the claim was disallowed.
