Davis v. Scroggins

WALKER, Circuit Judge.

This was an action by the defendant in error (herein called plaintiff) to recover damages for personal injuries resulting from his foot being caught in a hole in the floor or platform of a loading or transfer shed at Longview Junction, Tex., which belonged to and was used in connection with a railroad controlled and operated by the plaintiff in error (herein called the defendant); such injuries being attributed to alleged negligence of the defendant in permitting such floor or platform to remain in the unsafe condition resulting from the existence of such hole.
