Lumley. John Dodds Wanless, 20, pony-putter.
On 29th March, 1923, Wanless sprained himself whilst lifting a tub. He reported the accident the same day to the deputy. The doctor told Wanless he was suffering from Hernia resulting from the strain, and advised him in May to go to Sunderland Infirmary for operation. There was no bed vacant and Wanless continued to work until 27th October, 1923, when he had to cease and was sent to Sunderland Infirmary where he was operated upon for Hernia.
The committee failed to agree.
