Barton v. Jones
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided April 4, 1887
6 Sadler 64; 8 A. 850; 1887 Pa. LEXIS 583

Barton v. Jones

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam :

This was one of those unfortunate accidents that are liable-to occur in the erection of large buildings. The zeal and ability with which the cause was argued by the counsel for the plaintiff has caused us to examine the evidence with great care. We think it is insufficient to send the case to the jury. It follows that there was no error in ordering a compulsory nonsuit and in refusing to take it off.

Judgment affirmed.
