Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Workmen’s Compensation Act — Injuries — Partial Incapacity to Work. The evidence in an action under the workmen’s compensation act held to warrant a finding- that permanent partial incapacity resulted from the loss of the ends of the second and third fingers of the' left hand of a workman who had already lost a part of the thumb and first finger of the same hand.</p> <p>2. Same — Partial Incapacity — “$S a Week” — Statute Construed. The provision of the statute that in case of partial incapacity periodical payments shall not be less than $3 a week relates to the amount of recovery, and not merely to the manner of its payment; it means that the workman shall be entitled to receive at least that amount for every week that the incapacity continues until the statutory limit of eight years is reached.</p>
