Action on the case for personal injuries received by plaintiff while in the employ of defendant.

1Opinion of the CourtComegys, C. J.

charging, the jury:

Gentlemen of the Jury:

You need not be told by me that this is a very important case. Great interest has been manifested by the public in respect to it; it has excited a great deal of attention in the community, and the attendance of the members of the bar here to watch it tends to show the deep interest they take in it also. It is very fortunate that it is committed to a jury so intelligent and well known in the community and so worthy in every way as I know you are.

This is a case, the features of which are peculiar, but after all there is nothing very strange about the law…
