1Opinion of the CourtJustice Puterbaugh

This is an action in case under the statute relative to “ Mines and Miners ” to recover for injuries alleged to have, been sustained by appellee through wilful failure and neglect of appellant to comply with said statute. The plaintiff recovered judgment of the sum of $2,000, from which the defendant appeals. At the close of plaintiff’s evidence, and again at the close of all the evidence, the defendant moved the court to exclude the evidence and direct a verdict for the defendant, and tendered peremptory instructions as to each count of the declaration, which motion was overruled.
