Details of Event
This is a case of a death apparently having been hastened by an alleged strain when putting up timber acting on a previously diseased organ. The alleged strain according to the evidence given at the inquest some time before June and death took place 20th Nov. He worked more or less irregularly after the supposed strain but was not laid up at all. According to the medical evidence as a result of a post-mortem he died directly from heart trouble. It is one of those cases which are very doubtful as to whether they should be considered an accident under the Mines Act probably it should not but it seems to have some claim towards it hence I have included it. Date of injury uncertain.
