4397. Tudhoe. Anthony Howe, 62, stoneman.
Received injury to his right eye on 1st October, 1920. He was admitted to Sunderland Eye infirmary on 20th October, 1920, where he remained until the 25th October. He continued at work until he went to the Eye infirmary, and was then off a fortnight and worked again for 6 weeks and was off from December, 1920, until July, 1921, when he resumed and worked until 24th September, when the colliery closed. Application was made for compensation and the case was referred to Official Medical Referee (Dr. Percival), who reported on 25th January, 1922 :—
"The said A. Howe is blind in his right eye from traumatic cataract, and his condition is such that that he is partially incapacitated as he is now a one-eyed man and is, in my opinion, able to do light stone work.
The incapacity is partial and is entirely due to the accident."
The Owners refused to pay compensation, alleging that the injury was not preventing Howe from obtaining suitable light work.
Awarded full rate of 20/- per week without war addition.
