Newton v. Vulcan Iron Works

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania June 4, 1901

Newton v. Vulcan Iron Works, 199 Pa. 646 (Pa. 1901)

49 A. 339; 1901 Pa. LEXIS 672

Brown, McCollum, Mestrezat, Mitchell, Potter

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam,

The testimony introduced by the litigants required the sub*647mission of the case to the jury. It follows that if there was no error in the charge or in the answers to the defendants’ third, sixth and seventh points, the verdict rendered and the judgment entered thereon should be sustained. An examination of the charge, and of the answers to the points referred to, have not convinced us of error in either. We therefore dismiss the specifications and affirm the judgment.

Syllabus: Negligence—Master and servant—Defective chain. In an action by an employee against his employer to recover damages for personal injuries caused by the breaking of a chain, a verdict and judgment for plaintiff should be sustained where the evidence for the plaintiff, although contradicted, tended to show that the chain was defective, that an inspection would have shown the defect, and that the link which broke was twenty-two feet above the place where plaintiff was working.
