Opinion by

Plaintiff alleges that a circular plate weighing two tons was lifted in the air and so negligently handled as to swing against the decedent and fatally injure him. The testimony of the only eye witness was that decedent had ordered the craneman to hoist the plate a little. If the crane raised the plate perpendicularly and the lateral motion was merely incident to the act, there was no negligence. If, however, the lateral movement which caused the death was occasioned by an independent act of the craneman, that was vsufficient -to carry the case to the jury. There was sufficient in the case to warrant the conclusion that there was a double movement of the crane and under the circumstances if this occurred without warning, it would support an inference of negligence. There was evidence that the man handling the crane was an incompetent workman.

As stated in plaintiff’s declaration, the gist of the action was the negligent handling of the crane by an incompetent workman. The proof at the trial as to how the crane was handled did not exactly agree with the allegation of the declaration. The change, however, did not affect defendant’s' defense nor did it change the basis of the action. We therefore do not think that the exception taken that the allegata and probata did not agree has any merit.

All the assignments of error are overruled and the judgment is affirmed.
