Lee v. Electric L., H. & P. Co.
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided March 9, 1891 · Clark, Green, McCollum, Mitchell, Paxson, Sterrett, Williams
140 Pa. 618; 21 A. 405; 1891 Pa. LEXIS 881

Lee v. Electric L., H. & P. Co.

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam:

The learned judge below declined to affirm the defendant’s point, and submitted the question of negligence to the jury. He could not properly have done otherwise. It was for the jury to say whether the plaintiff was guilty of negligence in not moving the ladder, and whether the defendant company was negligent in not having the brace secured. These were questions which, under the evidence, the jury had a right to pass upon.

Judgment affirmed.
