Non-Fatal Cases.
4586. Louisa New Pit. Edward Wanless, 56, stoneman.
Wanless had an injury to his left eye in August, 1915, through a chip flying from a prop and he lost the sight of the eye. He restarted as a stoneman in 1916, and worked until 1920 when he started in a clay quarry, and on 17th January, 1922, he was hit on the injured eye by some blue stone and was off 9 weeks, and claims full compensation for that period. Compensation was refused because, it was alleged, Wanless was not disabled from continuing at his work as far as the injury was concerned.
Withdrawn.
