Description	Date of birth: 28/01/1900 Marital status: Married Address: 158 Newcastle Avenue, Worksop Type of injury: Injury - knee and associated thrombo-phlebitis Description of accident: Slipped while walking and twisted knee Further information: I have worked 38 years at Whitwell Colliery'. Ward's GP wrote 'After extensive investigation this man has been found to be suffering from Leukaemia.[…]I should very much like to help this man, who has suffered this calamity but [...] nothing whatever is known as the casue of this condition [...] So far as is known he did not have the condition before his accident, but the argument "Post hoc ergo propter hoc" is an exceedingly feeble one in the legal world'. This phrase was noted in translation 'After this, because of this'. The leukaemia diagnosis is not given in the Tribunal's summary.
