Shield Row. John T. Nicholson.
1. "The said J. T. Nicholson has a large scar over both eyes, the right eye sees only 6/60 dimly owing to an accident some years ago. He subsequently, 14th March, 1926, incurred a similar accident to his left eye which has reduced his vision in that eye 6/36, and his condition is such that he has now very defective sight and in my opinion he should be able to do light work even underground but probably not hewing.
2. The incapacity of the said J. T. Nicholson is partial and is entirely due to the injuries from which he has suffered.
Dated this 21st day of July, 1926.
(Signed) A. S. PERCIVAL,
Medical Referee."

On 12th March, 1926, this man sustained an injury to his eye through being struck by a piece of coal. Full compensation was paid until 17th June, 1926, when it was reduced to 7/6 per week on a report of Dr. Percival (the Owners' doctor) who reported on 21st July, 1926, as follows :—
1. "The said J. T. Nicholson has a large scar over both eyes, the right eye sees only 6/60ths dimly owing to an accident some years ago. He subsequently 14th March, 1926, incurred a similar accident to his left eye which has reduced his vision in that eye to 6/36ths, and his condition is such that he has now very defective sight, and in my opinion he should be able to do light work even underground but probably not hewing.
2. The incapacity of the said J. T. Nicholson is partial and is entirely due to the injuries from which he has suffered."
