Roseback v. Ætna Mills

Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Roseback v. Ætna Mills, 158 Mass. 379 (Mass. 1893)
33 N.E. 577; 1893 Mass. LEXIS 309
Barker

Roseback v. Ætna Mills

Opinion of the Court

Barker, J.

That an ordinary weaver, whose usual work is merely to operate a loom, is not a person intrusted with and exercising superintendence, whose sole or principal duty is that of superintendence,” within the meaning of the St. of 1887, c. 270, § 1, cl. 2, merely because it is also her duty, when her loom gets out of repair, to notify the loom-fixer to put it in order, is too plain for discussion. The weaver was no more than the plaintiff’s fellow servant, and the rulings were right.

Exceptions overruled.
