Stone v. Graves

Opinion of the Court

Field, J.

It appears that Graves, the defendant’s intestate, was an old man, whose shoulder had been injured, and who could not well shave himself; and that the work of shaving him was done by the plaintiff, not in a public shop, but in the house of Graves. If Graves wished to be shaved on the Lord’s day in his own house, we cannot say, as matter of law, that it was not morally fit and proper that the plaintiff should shave him.

Exceptions overruled.
