2035. Randolph. Thomas Balmer, 42, hewer.

This man fell off with Miners' Nystagmus in March, 1914, but was off work six months and then recommenced hewing and worked eight months. He was then off other nine months, and was offered light work as a labourer at bank at which he worked for four months and had to cease. Balmer put in a claim for a lump sum, and although it is seldom we can get the owners to commute any case of Miners' Nystagmus we settled this case for £175.
