LANDLORD AND TENANT, § 296 — instruction properly refused. In action for injuries to 4 year old child, on theory that washing machine and wringer were of inherently dangerous nature to young children who might be attracted by machine, where it appeared that defendant coin meter company had electric washing machine with wringer in defendant's building, wherein child's parents were tenants, all tenants having right to use it and that child caused electric current to start by inserting wire connection in socket and caught his right hand in wringer, held that judgment against defendant landlord should be, affirmed, since court did not err in refusing to give instruction that defendants would not be liable unless washing machine and wringer were dangerous, and that defendants should have anticipated before accident that children would be injured by it when playing therewith.
