 River Burn, Norfolk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The River Burn is a river in the north-west of the English county of Norfolk.
The river rises to the south of the village of South Creake and flows through the villages of North Creake, Burnham Thorpe and Burnham Overy Town before disgorging into the North Sea to the north of the village of Burnham Overy Staithe.
Between Burnham Overy Staithe and the sea, the river spreads out into multiple tidal creeks through the salt marshes that fringe the coast thereabouts, and finally leaves land behind by passing though the fronting sand dunes at a gap locally known as Burnham Harbour.

 Norfolk & Western Railway v. Ayers
Norfolk is therefore “liable in damages … for such injury.” Nothing in the statutory text instructs that the amount of damages payable by a liable employer bears reduction when the negligence of a third party also contributed in part to the injury-in-suit.
Norfolk maintains that the statutory language conveying that a railroad is liable only for injuries an employee sustains “while he is employed by such carrier” makes it clear that railroads are not liable for employee injuries resulting from outside causes.
Norfolk submits that requiring employers to sue for contribution will be “wasteful,” Brief for Petitioner 47, but FELA defendants may be able to implead third parties and thus secure resolution of their contribution actions in the same forum as the underlying FELA actions.

His paternal grandfather and two Nelson uncles lived off the rich Norfolk soil; two of Edmund’s cousins, offspring of the aforementioned uncles, became clergymen, and his father, Edmund Nelson senior, was himself an ecclesiastic, educated at Eton and Cambridge.
