Millon v. Salisbury

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Millón being a bailee for hire, and chargeable with no ill treatment, and having employed the horse to no other-use than that which was expressly agreed on, and paid for, he is not liable for such an injury as the plaintiff below complains’ pf-

As to all accidents naturally incident to the use of the horse, in the manner contracted for, the law imposes the risk on the bailor. Injustice has been done, and the judgment ought to he reversed.

Judgment reversed.
