A workman was employed by a baker to drive a horse and cart to deliver bread to customers He sustained injury to a hand by frost-bite in severe winter weather. The County Court Judge found in fact (1) that there was nothing in the nature of the workman’s employment which exposed him to more than the ordinary risk of cold to which any person working in the open was exposed at the same time; and (2) that assuming there was an ‘accident,’ it was not an accident arising out of the employment.
Held that the finding of the County Court Judge could not be set aside.
