Following the judgment 1 met with another accident to my wnst and was off work for five weeks, ibis year my arm was injured again, ana I was off work for a further three weeks, and have since been off tor a further five weeks owing to sickness. I have no property. I pay £1 2s « board and 2s 6d per week for washing.
