Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Plaintiff’s exceptions sustained, and motion for new trial granted, with costs to the plaintiff to abide the event. Held, that the question as to whether, under the labor law (see Laws 1897, p. 480, c. 415, § 81, as amended by Laws 1904, p. 640, c. 291), the shafting should have been guarded, was a question of fact for the jury, and not one of fact for the court.

McLENNAN, P. j., not sitting.
