4523. Murton. W. Blevins, 45, hewer.
Wrenched himself whilst filling a tub on 22nd December, 1921. The accident was reported to the deputy. The management refused to pay compensation on the grounds that Blevins was not disabled by injuries received in the mine.
His doctor reported on 26th January, 1922 :—
"I am strongly of opinion that such a severe wrench which he gave himself the day previously whilst loading tubs would be ample causation of the inguinal hernia which he now suffers from."
Claim disallowed.
