Woicianowicz v. Phil. and Reading Coal and Iron

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Nov 1, 1916
175 App. Div. 946 (N.Y. App. Div. 1916)

Opinion

November, 1916.


Judgment reversed and new trial granted, costs to abide the event, on the ground that the evidence raised an issue of the negligence of the mine foreman in directing plaintiff to assist in pushing back upon the rails the derailed car in the immediate front of a car upon the same rails, which were descending, and which car the jury might find was unspragged — that is, unblocked — and that it does not appear from this record that the Pennsylvania statute, exempting the mine owner for certain negligence of a certified mine foreman includes such act of such negligence. Jenks, P.J., Carr, Mills, Rich and Putnam, JJ., concurred.
