Committee Meeting
Held on September 13th 1915
Addison. Alfred Rowe, 27, spare banksman.
Sprained himself whilst lifting a tub on March 22nd, 1915. He worked until May 25th, 1915, and went to Newcastle Infirmary on May 26th, and was operated upon that day. The Surgeon, Dr. Scott, reported on July 29th:—
He was operated upon on the morning of admission, the hernia was reduced, and the broken parts sewn together. The hernia was found to have been congenital, viz., present from birth, although he might never have noticed it until recently, and it might have been only a slight one before the accident of lifting tub. He was discharged healed on June 10th.
It was impossible to prove a connection between the alleged accident and disability, and no report having been made, the Committee disallowed the claim.
