He was paid $579', and, June 9, 1928, resumed his employment and was paid his previous wage of $30, per week until September 21, 1929, when he voluntarily quit. June 27, 1928, plaintiff executed a final settlement receipt which was filed with the department but no approval thereof sought or had at that time. In November, 1931, plaintiff filed with the department of labor and industry a petition for further compensation, and, upon hearing before a deputy commissioner, it was, on January 4, 1932, determined and adjudged that he was not entitled to further compensation. No appeal was taken.
In February, 1932, plaintiff procured from the secretary of the department copies of thfe record, inclusive of the holding: "There is no compensation due to the plaintiff on the'date hereof."
