4381. Horden. W. H. Brown, 56, wasteman.
Ruptured himself on the 26th February, 1915. Application was made for the case to be referred to the Official Medical Referee but the owners would only admit sprain of back, and Brown contended he was ruptured in addition to being sprained.
The case was before the Committee in February and adjourned, and also before them in March when it was withdrawn.
Dr. Robinson, of Sunderland, reported on 25th April :—
"Wm. Brown was admitted into the Royal Infirmary, Sunderland, under my care, on the 4th of last month, suffering from a large right inguinal rupture upon which a radical cure was performed on the 9th. He was discharged on the 25th March, 1922. He stated that the rupture was caused by an accident whilst at work on the 26th January, 1916 (?1918) when he felt a sudden pain in the part though he did not observe a swelling there until six months afterwards.
I am of opinion that the accident caused the rupture which developed gradually afterwards until it became big enough to attract his attention."
Claim allowed.
