Axwell. John Laybourn, 33, hewer.
On 3rd June, 1925, this man fell off with a beat hand. Full compensation was paid until 4th January, 1925, when it was reduced to 6/2 per week on a report of Dr. Smith (the Owners' doctor) who reported on 11th December, 1925, as follows :—
"He is suffering from a beat hand. There is still a crack in the palm of the hand in the centre of the scar, and his condition is such that he is fit for light work provided hand can be kept dressed.
In my opinion the cause or causes of the workman's present disablement are injury as above stated, and that the probable duration of the partial disability is one month.
Dr. Ruddick (the man's own doctor) on 2nd January, 1926, reported as follows :—
"Present Condition. — Slight slit in skin of palm of hand result of lancing to relieve septic. Wound not quite healed.
Grounds of Opinion. — Unfit for hewing owing to wound in palm of right hand."
No suitable light work has been offered and Laybourn now claims full compensation.
Referred to an Official Medical Referee.
