Summary of case: In his appeal to the local tribunal, Hutchinsons employer stated that he is employed as a leader in taking pit prop timbers to Egton and Grosmont stations. He does not know where he can find another man to take his place. In the appeal to the North Riding appeal tribunal Craig states that it is expedient that this man be employed in military service and not engaged in timber-leading.
