Lima Electric Railway & Light Co. v. Hicks
Opinion of the Court
Judgment reversed upon grounds stated in journal entry.
It is ordered and adjudged by this court that the judgment of the said circuit court be, and the same hereby is, reversed for error in affirming and not reversing the judgment of the court of common pleas. And proceeding to render the judgment which the circuit court should have rendered, this court is of opinion that the trial court committed error in refusing to give to the jury the instruction requested by defendant below, to be found on page 430 of the printed record in this court, to-wit: “Where there are two or more methods or ways in which a servant may perform his duty, and he voluntarily chooses the one most hazardous, knowing it to be such, he does so at his own risk.”
