of
Arbitration Committee Meeting
held in the
The Coal Trade Offices, Newcastle-on-Tyne
On Monday, August 14th 1922
4048. New Herrington. Edward Escott, 19, putter.
Sprained his abdomen whilst lifting a tub on 6th April, 1921. The manager alleged that Escott's incapacity was due to natural causes and not to injury.
The case was before the Arbitration Committee on the 3rd July, when it was adjourned owing to Escott being in Sunderland Infirmary.
Dr. Robinson, Senior Surgeon of Sunderland Infirmary, reported on the 21st June, as follows :—
"He was admitted into the Royal Infirmary under my care on 20th April, 1922, and stated that whilst lifting a weight in the pit a fortnight previously he felt a sudden pain in the small of his back on the left side. He worked for two days, when the pain became so bad that he had to leave off work and has been off ever since. On admission he was extremely ill with a high septic temperature. Later, signs of supuration followed in the left loin and on 3rd May, 1922, I cut down over the part and found a very large acute abscess in the region of the last rib and the spine, behind the left kidney, which I opened and drained. He is now improving but it will be some months at the earliest before he can return to work.
MY OPINION is that the strain determined the position and formation of the abscess and was therefore its cause, though the germs to which it was due must have been circulating in his blood."
Claim allowed.
