Sherry v. Hughes

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam,

The appellee was injured by coming in contact with broken glass in a dark aisle in the establishment of his employers, through which he was compelled to go in obedience to an order of their foreman. He had put the broken glass there the night before, Nut of this the plaintiff was ignorant. The question of the defendants’ negligence was clearly for the jury, and it and the contributory negligence of the plaintiff were submitted to them in a charge free from error.

Judgment affirmed.
