East Hetton. Ernest Peacock, 27, hewer.
On July 20th, 1914, this man came out of the pit owing to bad air, and when he got to bank he was so overcome he fell on the railway plates and injured his head. He was paid compensation, and started hewing again on August 25th. On September 8th he was again overcome, and fell whilst coming out-bye. He commenced work on the screens on October 5th, the manager refusing to allow him down the pit again.
Our own medical evidence went to show that Peacock was subject to fits, and our side withdrew the claim.
