Kinney v. Corbin

Kinney v. Corbin
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided February 17, 1890 · Clark, Green, McCollum, Mitchell, Paxson, Sterrett, Williams
132 Pa. 341; 19 A. 141; 1890 Pa. LEXIS 818

Kinney v. Corbin

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam :

The negligence in this case was not that of the defendant company, but of Missimer, the boss or foreman, under whom the plaintiff was working, and who was, under all our cases, a fellow-workman. This was of itself sufficient to justify the learned judge below in entering a judgment of nonsuit. Aside from this, he makes out, upon the uncontradicted testimony, a very strong case of contributory negligence.

Judgment affirmed.
