4474. Clara Vale. Edward Robson, 14, driver.
Received injuries to the leg through being crushed between the tub and side on 27th August, 1920. The leg was subsequently amputated. He was paid full compensation until 5th November, 1921, when he was offered light work on the belts. At the time the offer was made Robson was a student at a commercial college in Newcastle and did not undertake the light work because he felt he was unable to do it and also because he had no intention of going to the pit to work.
The case was referred to the Official Medical Referee (Dr. Clay) who reported on 18th March, 1922 :—
"Robson has had the left leg amputated through the lower third. The wound is thoroughly healed and he has an artificial leg, and his condition is such that he is unfit for work requiring long standing such as screen work. He is fit for training in office work where he would be able to sit during the greater part of the time.
The incapacity of Edward Robson is due to the accident."
The owners contended that they had offered suitable light work at the shaft bottom at a wage higher than the wage at the time of injury and refused to pay compensation.
To be paid full compensation as from 5th November, 1921.
