Appeal from Superior Court, New Haven County; Leonard J. Nickerson Judge.

Joseph V. Esposito, of New Haven, for appellant.

Harry M. French, of New Haven, for appellee.

KELLOGG, J.

The record discloses that the claim of the injured party in this case came before the compensation commissioner for the Third district on February 19, 1823, the claimant being represented by counsel, and by continuance on the 4th, 14th, and 19th days of March, 1923. On the 11th day of April, 1923, a finding and award was made by the commissioner, dismissing the claim of the claimant. No appeal was taken by the claimant within 10 days after this decision of the compensation commissioner, but on the 24th day of April 1923, the claimant moved for a rehearing and recommittal of the finding and award in this action, on the ground that he was not aware, at the time of the original hearings of the ground of defense of the respondent, and was not prepared at that time to argue the questions of law involved therein. The commissioner denied this motion on the 8th day of June, 1923 and on the 13th day of June, 1923, the claimant filed notice of appeal from the finding and award and supplemental finding and award.

The Workmen's Compensation Act (Gen. St. 1918, § § 5339-5414) and all proceedings thereunder are entirely matters of statute, and we are necessarily bound by the statutes in such cases. Section 5365 of the General Statutes as amended by section 13 of chapter 142 of the Public Acts of 1919, reads in part as follows:

" As soon as may be after the conclusion of any hearing the commissioner shall send to each party a written copy of his finding and award and shall file a third copy in his office. The original award shall be filed in the office of the clerk of the superior court for the county in which the injury occurred if such injury occurred within this state. * * * If no appeal from his decision is taken by either party within ten days thereafter, such finding and award shall be final and may be enforced in the same manner as a judgment of the superior court."

No appeal was taken by either party within 10 days from the decision of the commissioner in this action upon his original finding and award, and under the provisions of the foregoing statute this finding and award then became final and enforceable in the same manner as a judgment of the superior court.

As to that portion of the claimant's appeal assigning error in the refusal of the commissioner to grant the...
