Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Compensation Act — Injuries — Time in Which Claim for Damages Must be Made. Under the workmen’s compensation act, section 5916 of the General Statutes of 1915, proceedings against an employer to recover compensation for an injury sustained by a workman in the course of his employment cannot be maintained unless a claim for compensation has been made within three months after the accident.</p> <p>2. Same — Findings of Fact — Conclusive on Appeal. The trial court’s finding of fact, based upon sufficient, though conflicting, testimony that a claim for compensation was not made within three months, is conclusive on appeal.</p> <p>3. Same — Claims of Error Immaterial. Errors concerning the admission and exclusion of evidence relating to alleged injuries for which no action can be maintained need no attention on appeal.</p> <p>4. Same — Compensation Allowed — Evidence. The evidence and findings pertaining to an allowance of $114 for compensation for injuries to a workman examined, and no error discerned therein.</p>
