Seaham. William Giles, 19, putter.
On June 18th, 1915, Giles slipped off a sleeper whilst pushing a tub and sprained his ankle. He did not think the accident much, and did not report it, but the next day called the doctor in, who told him he could not work, and gave him a note to take to the office. Giles not being able to go he sent his mother to the fore-overman, who signed the P. R. F. papers, but denied the report of an accident. The claim was for two weeks.
The claim was disallowed, as Giles neither reported the accident at proper time, nor did he send in a notice of accident.
