Claimant was injured on May 26, 1925. He filed claim for compensation and awards were made in his favor. Payment of compensation was completed on October 16, 1925. After the expiration of more than seven years the award appealed from was made. The only question presented is whether or not this claim comes within the purview of section 25-a Work.

Comp. of the Workmen's Compensation Law. Award modified by reversing the award as against the appellants and directing that the amount of the award be paid from the Special Fund, provided under section 25-a Work.
