Summary

In Svendsen v. McWilliams (214 N.Y. 621) we considered a judgment obtained by the plaintiff for damages caused by the negligence of a superintendent in the performance of an act which was not one of superintendence, but just as thoroughly a detail of work ordinarily to be performed by a fellow-servant as was the act involved in this action.

Summary of this case from Pelow v. Oswego Construction Co.
