Syllabus

<p>Negligence — Dangerous Premises — Places Attractive to Children — Hot Water Barbel. The owner of a mill was not negligent in the maintenance of a barrel of hot water, so as to be liable for injuries to a child nine years of age, who was scalded when a plug came out while she was attempting to take water from the barrel, where it appears that the barrel was about three feet high covered with a lid, and accessible only from one side, that the plug was an ordinary cedar plug apparently sound, and there was nothing to show how it came to be removed, that the parents of the child had lived in the' neighborhood, and with others used the water for domestic purposes, and permitted the child to go there and' never anticipated any danger or warned her to keep away (Dunbar, J., dissenting).</p>
