5395. Harton. George Daniel Jones, 25, stone-putter.

He stated that on April 6th, 1922, when at work and lifting a full tub of stones his foot slipped when he had it half up and the tub came back over and struck him on the back, He fell on his buttocks and the tub rested on his back. He reported the matter to the Deputy overman and others. He then left the mine and walked straight home, half a mile. He went to bed and was there for five days and attended by Dr. McHaffie. then sat up and rested in a chair for two weeks, occasionally going out and walking short distances. He complains of occasional pain over the seat of injury.

On examination he is seen to be a person of small build and weighs only 7 stones 13 lbs., is emaciated, of short stature and physically weak. I am of opinion that this man has now recovered from the injury of which no sign can be detected and he is able for his ordinary work.
