Workmen's Compensation Aet^ 1897.

[60 & 61 Vict. Ch. 37.]

An Act to amend the Law with respect to Compensation to Workmen for accidental Injuries suffered in the course of their EmploymeDt [6th August, 1897.]

E it enacted by the Queen's most Excellent Majesty, by aod with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporcd, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembleil, and by the authority of the same as fallows : L—(1.) If*in any employment to which this Act applies personal injury by accident arising out of and in the course of the employment is caused to a workman, his employer shall, subject as herein-after mentioned, be liable to pay compensa- tion in accordance with the first Schedule to this Act. (2.) Provided that :~ (a.) The employer shall not be liable under the Act in

I expect of any injur}^ which does not disable the work- n-an Ibr a period of at least two weeks from earning full the work at which he was employed wages at ; (6.) When the injury was caused by the personal negligence or wilful ad of the employer, or of .«ome person for whose act or default the employer is responsible, nothing in this Act sliidl affect any civil liability of the employer, but in that case the workman may, at his option, either claim compensation under this Act, or take the same proceed- ings as were open to him before the commencement of this Act; but the employer shall not be liable to pay compensation for injury to a workman by accident arising out of and in the course of the employment both inde- endeutly of andalso under this Act,and shall not be liable I to any proceedings independently of this Act, except in case of such personal negligence or wilful act as aforesaid;

(c.) Li it is proved that the injury to a workman is attributable to the serious £!nd wilful misconduct ot that workman, any comipensation claimed in respect of that injury shall be disallowed. (3.) If any question arises in any proceedings under this Act as to the liability t© pay compensation under this Act (including any question as to whether the employment is one to which this Act applies), or as to the amount or duration 3 of compensation under this Act, the question, if not settled by agreement, shall subject to the provisioDS of the First Schedule to this Act, be settled by arbitration, in accord- ance with the Second Schedule to this Act. (4.) If, within the time herein- after in this Act limited for taking proceedings, an ^ictiorl is brought to recover damages independently of this Act for injury caused by any accident, and it is determined in such action that the injury is one for whicli the employer is not liable in such action, but that he would have been liable to pay compensation under the pro- visions of this Act, the action shall be dismissed; but the court in which the action is tried shall, if the plaintiff shall so choose, proceed to assess such compensation, and shall be at liberty to deduct from such compensation all the costs which, in its judgment, have been caused by the plaintiff bringing the action instead of proceeding under this Act. In any proceedings under this subsection, when the court assesses the compensation it shall give a certificate of the compensation it has awarded and the directions it has given as to the deduction for co^its, and such certificate shall have the force and effect of an award under this Act.

(5.) Nothing in this Act shall affect any proceeding for a fine under the enactments relating to mines, or factories, or the application of any such fine, but if any such fine or any part thereof, has been applied for the benefit of the person Injured, the amount so applied shall be taken into account in estimating the compensation under this Act 2. —(1.)

The great roads were all carefully surveyed by officers of the Post Office—the title of surveyor has come down to the present day, though the officer now surveys post-offices, not roads—and tables of distances were kept for the cal- culation of rates. Over and above the normal dis- tance-raies, there were exceptional charges, such as packet-rates, a penny for crossing the Menai- bridge and a halfpenny for con- veyance In Scotland on a mail carriage of more tlian two wheels. Indeed, one wonders lv>\v letters ever reached their destination at all, the time and labour involved m justly charging them with post- age must, one would think, luive been so great. The public, however, were con- cerned with tlie practical results of I he system, and a few examples \\ill show what these were. The lowest rate for a letter sent from London to Birmingham was 9d. ; if it containe I a second sheet of paper, or, as it was called in days when one sheet served for both letter and envelope, an enclosure, the charge was immediately doubled. From London to Edinburgh the lowest rate was is. lid., smd from London co Dublin, where two toll- bridges and the sea had to be crossed. Is. 4d. It may well be imagined that with such charges no one hesitated to send his letters by other agencies than the Post Office, or that, in spite of stringent penal- ties, infringements of the State monopoly were innumerable.
