Rekoon v. General Lead Batteries Co.
Supreme Court of New Jersey · Decided January 31, 1938 · Bodine, Heher, Perskie
196 A. 676; 119 N.J.L. 296; 1938 N.J. Sup. Ct. LEXIS 292

Rekoon v. General Lead Batteries Co.

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

In examining this application for a writ of certiorari, we concur with the findings of the bureau and the Court of Common Pleas that there was an accident arising out of and in the course of the employment. The employe suffering from tuberculosis, while lifting a heavy weight, felt a sudden strain which resulted in a hemorrhage. The reasoning in Bernstein v. Kelly, 114 N. J. L. 500; affirmed, 115 Id. 500, is controlling.

The application will be denied.
