Arbitration Committee Meeting
held in the
The Coal Trade Offices, Newcastle-on-Tyne
On Monday, August 14th 1922
4716. Blackhall. George Hartley, 15, screen lad.
Received a fractured femur on 22nd February, 1922, through slipping on a girder. The accident was duly reported but compensation was refused on the grounds that Hartley was "larking" with other boys when the accident happened.
The case was adjourned on the 26th June owing to Hartley being unable to attend the Committee.
It was proved beyond doubt that Hartley was larking and was injured in circumstances that, however sympathetic the Committee could be, could not be described as arising out of and in the course of his employment
Application was refused
