Non-Fatal Cases.
5128. Ravensworth. Thomas Henderson, hewer.
Sprained his left thigh through slipping whilst filling a tub of coal on 16th December, 1915 The accident was reported and compensation paid for 19 days. He worked off and on and fell off for the last time on 31st July, 1922. He was told by his doctor that it was rheumatism that was disabling him but a doctor at Newcastle Infirmary was of opinion the injury was the cause of his disablement.
The case was before the last meeting of the Committee when it was adjourned to get the X-ray report.
The X-Ray Photo did not reveal any injury and whilst it was admitted that the injury may have aggravated the arthritis for a time it certainly had nothing to do with Henderson's present condition.
In view of this and the fact that Henderson was off a fortnight and subsequently worked five years at his own work, we had no other course open but to disallow the claim.
Disallowed.
