Lefleur v. Liberty Laundry Co.

Lefleur v. Liberty Laundry Co.
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court · Decided June 27, 1940
306 Mass. 618; 35 N.E.2d 482; 1940 Mass. LEXIS 1100

Lefleur v. Liberty Laundry Co.

Opinion of the Court

Exceptions overruled. The plaintiff was hurt when the wheel of a truck in which he was riding fell into a pit around a cellar window. The grating over the pit was loose. The truck was operated by a fellow servant in the employ of the uninsured defendant. The auditor found the operator negligent. That finding warranted the verdict for the plaintiff. That finding did not purport to be a mere conclusion from subsidiary facts found. But subsidiary *619facts and other evidence outside the report tended to support the general finding of negligence.

E. S. Searle & S. Keedy, for the defendant, submitted a brief. No argument nor brief for the plaintiff.
