New Herrington. John Fisher, 34, filler.
On 26th March, 1926, this man ruptured an ulcer while casting coal. The management are refusing to pay compensation on the grounds that the accident was not reported. Dr. Kelly (the man’s own doctor) on 15th May, 1926, reported as follows :—
"Present Condition. — He is now very well able to be up and about and to take sufficient exercise.
Grounds of Opinion. — This ulcer was undoubtedly caused by the recent strenuous work at the face of the coal as he is a very hard working man. I may say that I have not attended him previously for any complaint."
Fisher is still off work and now claims full compensation.
Claim disallowed.
