5351. Blackhall. David Newbigging, 34, stoneman.
Was lifting a big stone on 31st August, 1922. and, falling against the tub, sprained his abdomen. He reported the accident on the same day to the deputy but the manager disputes any accident having been reported. Newbigging resumed work on 13th November and the claim is resisted on the grounds that he had told the deputy that he had to come out of the pit on 31st August owing to being sick.
Awarded six weeks' compensation.
