Hebburn. Michael Ryan.
1. "The said M. Ryan is to-day blind in his right eye (though he has perception of light) due to the accident. His left eye is astigmatic and sees much better with glasses. His symptoms arise from his eyesight now depending on this defective eye, and his condition is such that he is now in my opinion able to do light work at bank.
2. The incapacity of the said Michael Ryan is partial and is entirely due to the accident.
Dated this 6th day of October, 1926.
(Signed) A. S. PERCIVAL,
Medical Referee."
