Barteau v. Rhoades
Supreme Judicial Court of Maine · Decided March 29, 1929
128 Me. 539

Barteau v. Rhoades

Opinion of the Court

This was an action brought to recover damages which plaintiff claimed were due from the proprietor of a Merry-go-round at Old Orchard. Plaintiff was standing near the Merry-go-round when a child eight years old was thrown or fell or jumped from the machine, striking against her and injuring her. At the close of plaintiff’s case, a non-suit was ordered and very properly so. There is nothing in the evidence upon which a jury could reasonably predicate a finding of negligence on the part of defendant. Exceptions overruled.
