The defendánt answered admitting the injury to plaintiff, but insisted that he had’ "been paid all compensation to which he was ■entitled. • - •
From a judgment in favor of the •plaintiff awarding him total and permanent, •disability, defendant was granted, on June 12, 1956, an appeal returnable to this court on July 11, 1956.
