The employee claims that on August 1, 1913, while in the employ of the city of Marlborough as a laborer, he received personal injuries that arose out of and in the course of his employment. It appears by the record that compensation was paid by the insurer to the employee under an agreement therefor; that the agreement was filed with the Industrial Accident Board on August 30, 1913. St. 1911, c. 751, Part III, § 4, as amended by St. 1912, c. 571, § 9. It also appears that a hearing was held before a committee of arbitration on October 13, 1914, to determine whether, the employee was incapacitated as a result of the injury; that the committee so found, and compensation was awarded at the rate of $6 weekly to be continued for an indeterminate period, and has been paid by the insurer up to April 2, 1918; and that no claim for review of these findings was filed. St. 1911, c. 751, Part III, § 7, as amended by St. 1912, c. 571, § 12 (St. 1917, c. 297, § 4).
On April 2, 1918, a hearing was held before a single member *389of the board under St. 1911, c. 751, Part III, § 12, as amended by St. 1914, c. 708, § 11, (St. 1917, c. 297, § 8,) at which the insurer contended and offered evidence to show that the employee did not receive his injuries in the course of his employment, that they did not arise out of it, and that he was not an employee of the city at that time. The single member states that the greater portion of the evidence introduced by the insurer related to the question “whether or not the injury arose out of the employment” and was received de bene; he afterwards ruled that it was not open to the insurer under Part III, § 12, to show that the injury did not arise out of the employment. He states that he is unable to find that the disability resulting from the injury has ceased. It cannot be said that the conclusion is without evidence to support it. The board on review affirmed and adopted the findings and rulings of the single member and found that the employee is entitled to a continuance of compensation at the rate of $6 a week subject to the provisions of the act, and a decree has been entered in the Superior Court in accordance with the finding.
The ruling of the single member affirmed by the board was clearly right. The committee of arbitration having fixed the compensation at $6 weekly, it is to be presumed that it was found that the employee’s injury was received in the course of and arose out of his employment while he was in the employ of the city; and as no claim for review was filed the decision of the committee stood and became enforceable in the Superior Court. Young v. Duncan, 218 Mass. 346, 353. In the later proceedings instituted under Part III, § 12, the only matters then properly before the single member were the review of the previous decision respecting the weekly payment awarded and the issuance of such order as might be deemed advisable. An order having been so issued, the effect of which is to continue the compensation previously allowed, the employee is entitled to be paid at the rate of $6 a week since April 2, 1918.
Decree affirmed.
