Syllabus

<p>1. Where points presented for instruction are affirmed by the trial judge, with an explanation of the meaning of certain words used in them, as applicable to the case, and the accuracy of the explanation is not called in question, it cannot be alleged as error that the points should have been affirmed without qualification.</p> <p>2. In the absence of a request for a direction to find for the defendant, on the trial of an action for personal injuries, it cannot be alleged that the case should have been taken from the jury, on the ground of contributory negligence and that the injury was received under a risk apparent and assumed by the plaintiff as incident to his employment.</p>
