Summary
In Hogan v. Smith (125 N.Y. 774) the plaintiff's intestate, while engaged with others in loading a vessel, was struck by one of the descending loads and killed by falling into the hold. If the plank upon which he stood at the time had been laid in the usual manner his life would have been saved.
