Opinion of the Court
We do not deem it necessary to advert in detail to the several assignments of error in this case, because in our judgment, in any just view of the facts of it as they appear in the record, the injury sustained by the plaintiff was most probably the result of casualty- — -possibly of his own carelessness and lack of expertness, and if there was any carelessness on the part of any employee of the defendant, engaged in shifting or moving the cars at the time the injury was sustained, it was obviously that of a fellow-servant, for which the defendant is not amenable.
The injury so sustained by the plaintiff was his misfortune.
It seems that the defendant, nevertheless, generously and commendably cared for him.
No error. Affirmed.
