The stipulation was approved by
Acting Compensation Commissioner
Leo j. Noonan, because Compen-
sation Commissioner James NJ.
Lynch disqualified himself due to
the fact the claimant was repre-
sented by his son, Attorney Walter
]. Lynch.
A previous finding and award
made by Commissioner Noonan had
given Hockey more than 5000 in
settlement Of his claim, but the COM
panies had appealed the award to
the superior court Of Windham
county. The stipulation was made
in lieu Of court action. Several hun
bred dollars due for medical ex-
penses must be paid by Hoxley from
the $4,000 stipulated sum.
Injured in 1885
Hockey was injured July 18, 1885
while working for Norman Cole in
his stone quarry in Woodbury., who
had no compensation insurance and
no financial responsibility. Cole,
however, was under contract to the
Silliman & Godfrey Construction
Corp, to supply crushed stone for
the building of WPA project road
in Woodbury.. The injury resulted
in the loss of an eye to Hockey
and when he claimed compensation,
Cole was found to be without the
means Of paying it. 1t was then
found that as Cole was under con-
tract to the Silliman g. Godfrey Co.,
the latter was liable for the pay
ment of the compensation. The
original award gave Hockey the sum
Of $21 weekly from August 80, 1885
to December 1, 1885, the period OF
his total disability, and a further
award Of $21 weekly for 208 weeks.
Doctor and medical expenses OF
$393.85 were also to have been paid
by the respondents under the terms
Of the original award.
