Proceedings under the Workmen's Compensation Act by Jacob Rekoon, executor of Leopoldo R.

Argued January term, 1938, before BODINE, HEHER, and PERSKIE, JJ.
Kellogg & Chance, of Jersey City, for prosecutor. Avidan & Avidan, of Newark, for defendant.
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 employee suffering from tuberculosis, while lifting a heavy weight, felt a sudden strain which resulted in a hemorrhage. The reasoning in Bernstein Furniture Co. v. Kelly, 114 N.J.L. 500, 177 A. 554, affirmed 115 N.J.L. 500, 180 A. 832, is controlling.
The application will be denied.
