<p>Negligence — Master and servant — Infant—Contributory negligence— Conflicting testimony — Province of court and fury.</p> <p>In an action by a boy fifteen years old against his employer to recover damages for personal injuries sustained by a fall of a part of a dangerous machine, at which he was working, the case is for the jury where the plaintiff’s own testimony, although uncorroborated, and contradicted by the defendant’s witnesses, tends to show that the part which fell had fallen in the same way two days before, that he then told the foreman about it, and some repairs were made in consequence, that it had fallen three times before his accident, and that he had made complaint each time to the foreman, who replied that the machine was all right, and that he should get to work.</p>
