150 N.Y.S. 150 (New York Supplement)

Opinion of the Court

SEABURY, J.

This is an action to recover damages for personal injuries sustained through the alleged negligence of the defendant. The evidence is meager and insufficient to establish a cause of action. Plaintiff proved that he was directed by his “boss” to dump a box, and that while engaged in that act his finger was caught and injured. The alleged negligence of the defendant seems to have been left entirely to conjecture; certainly it was not proved.

Judgment reversed, and complaint dismissed, with costs in this court and in the court below. All concur.
