Rowlands Gill. Patrick Carroll.
1. "The said P. Carroll is to-day suffering from Miners’ Nystagmus. His sight is, and has been, very defective, as he has extensive choroidal atrophy, and his condition is such that he is unfit for work underground.
2. The incapacity of the said P. Carroll is partial and is entirely due to Miners’ Nystagmus. His defective sight, though not impairing his work about a pit, renders some kinds of skilled work impossible.
Dated this 25th day of January, 1924.
(Signed) A. S. PERCIVAL,
Medical Referee."
