WORKERS' COMPENSATION ACT. A WIDOW'S DICISION RESERVED. Kalgoorlie, December 15. A case under the Workers' Compensation Act, in which Elizabeth Ennor, a widow, proceeded against the Federal Gold-mining Company for compensation for the death of her husband, Samuel James Ennor, who died from cerebral haemorrhage during crib time, while in the employ of the defendant company, was heard before Mr. W. A. G. Walter, R.M., and two assessors to-day. The case for the plaintiff was to the effect that the deceased had suffered from lead poisoning for 15 years, which caused a loss of elasticity and hardness of the arteries, and that this, as the result of exertion brought on a fatal attack of haemorrhage After. briefly quoting authorities her olicitor went on to say-that a death from cerebral haemorrhage looked. like 'death from natural causes, but after reading the cases quoted he thoueht that the Bench would come to the conclusion that cerebral haemorrhage was an accident within the meaning of the Act, no matter how small was the exertion which caused it. No evidence was called by counsel for the defendant company, who relied that the death was due to disease, and not to accident; -The Court reserved its decision.
