5 N.Y.S. 917

McCarthy v. Thorn

The Superior Court of the City of New York and Buffalo · decided 1889-06-28

Action by Peter McCarthy against Thomas H. and Oscar Thorn, to recover damages for personal injuries received while plaintiff was in defendants’ employ.

Decided 1889-06-28

Truant, J.

¶1The action was brought to recover damages for injuries alleged to have been sustained by the plaintiff by reason of the negligence of the defendants. The only question in the case is the one presented by the defendants’ exception to the refusal of the court to dismiss the complaint. I am of the opinion that there was some evidence in the case that would warrant the jury in finding that the defendants negligently furnished to the plaintiff an appliance for his use, and that he was injured, without fault on his part, while using such appliance. The judgment and order appealed from are affirmed, with costs.

¶2Sedgwick, O. J., concurs.
