v.SHEFFIELD FARMS CO., Inc.

No. 19.

Court of Errors and Appeals of New Jersey.

Sept. 3, 1948.

Appeal from Supreme Court.

Proceeding under the Workmen's Compensation Act by Adele P. Young, claimant, to recover compensation for the death of her husband, opposed by Sheffield Farms Company, Inc., employer. The Supreme Court, 136 N.J.L. 489, 56 A.2d 868, reversed the judgment of the court of common pleas reversing the judgment of the Workmen's Compensation Bureau dismissing the claim, and the claimant appeals.

Judgment affirmed.

Perry E. Belfatto, of Newark, for appellant.

George F. Lahey, Jr., of Newark, for respondent.

PER CURIAM.

The issue here is whether the deceased workman suffered a fatal heart attack by accident arising out of and in the course of his employment with the defendant corporation. The Compensation Bureau dismissed the petition for failure of proof. The Hudson Common Pleas reversed the judgment and made an award of compensation. The Supreme Court found that the fatal cardiac seizure was not attributable to an industrial accident. It is the settled rule that findings of fact on conflicting evidence, or on uncontroverted evidence reasonably susceptible of conflicting inferences, are conclusive on error. The case is within this category.

The judgment is affirmed.

For affirmance: The CHANCELLOR, the CHIEF JUSTICE, Justices BODINE, HEHER, WACHENFELD, BURLING, and JACOBS, and Judges WELLS, DILL, FREUND, McLEAN, and SCHETTINO-12.

For reversal: None.
