Maguire v. McGee

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
Maguire v. McGee, 10 Sadler 171 (Pa. 1888)
13 A. 551; 22 Week. No. 159; 1888 Pa. LEXIS 1057

Maguire v. McGee

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam:

It is too clear for argument that "McGee cannot be held for the accident which befell John Maguire. The scaffolding was necessarily of a temporary character, erected by the defendant’s employees for their own purposes; and had one of them been injured by it, he could not have recovered from his employer; much less, therefore, can he be held for an injury to a stranger, to whom he owed no duty whatever.

The judgment is affirmed.
