We discern in chapter 279 of the laws of 1931 (P.L. 1931 p.704), which, inter alia, amended section 23 (f) of the Workmen's Compensation act (P.L. 1911 p. 134; P.L. 1919 pp. 201,211), a legislative purpose to grant to the employer's insurer the right of reimbursement for compensation paid to the injured employe, under the provisions of the Compensation act, where a third party is liable for the injuries so suffered by the employe, and recovery from the tort feasor is effected. It results that the decree should be affirmed.
