Bowden Close. Harry Crossling, 15, driver.
On 22nd June, 1923, this lad sustained injuries to his right knee through slipping and falling on a sleeper while pushing a full tub. Full compensation was paid until 30th April, 1926, when it was reduced to 7/6 per week on a report of Dr. Haig (the Owners' doctor). The case was before the Official Medical Referee (Dr. McCullagh) who reported on 31st May, 1926, as follows :—
1. "The said Harry Crossling is suffering from pain in right knee on exertion, resulting from an accident in 1923, and his condition is such that he is at present unfit for work as a driver but can do light work at bank.
2. The incapacity of the said Harry Crossling is entirely due to the accident in 1923."
On the above report compensation is being continued at the reduced rate of 7/6 per week. Crossling is still off work and now claims full compensation.
Awarded compensation at the reduced rate of 8/- per week.
