Opinion of the Court

Judgment and order affirmed, with costs. All concurred, except Kruse, J., who dissented upon the ground that, although the case is not within the scaffold statute* (no structure was being erected, painted or repaired), the evidence shows that the ladder was an improper appliance for doing the work which the plaintiff was directed to do.
