Arbitration Committee Meeting

On 7th and 21st May 1924
Report of Meeting held 21st May, 1924
Dunston. James Jordan, 58, hewer.
Jordan sprained himself whilst pushing a full tub on 31st December, 1923. The accident was reported but compensation was refused on the report of Dr. Hume, who examined Jordan on 24th January, 1924. The case was before the Committee on 7th April and adjourned for further medical evidence.
Dr. W. A. Hewitson, of Newcastle, who operated upon Jordan at Newcastle Infirmary on 29th February, 1924, reported on 22nd April, 1924 :—
"I operated upon James Jordan, 26, Clephan Street, Dunston, on 29th February, 1924.
He was then suffering from a small umbilical hernia, which he states he has had for ten years previously.
On 31st December, 1923, he states he was pushing a tub and he states that as a result of this the hernia got larger, a history which is backed up by his doctor’s (Dr. Dougal) statements.
At the operation the condition found was a small umbilical hernia and through the operation this has been quite cured. In view of his doctor’s statements I am of the opinion that the condition of his hernia was aggravated by the accident."
Claim allowed.
