Syllabus

<p>[To be reported.]</p> <p>1. An employee cannot recover from an employer for injuries received in the use of a dangerous appliance, when it was one of his own contrivance and constructed at his own suggestion, and there is no proof of a defect in the construction, or of negligence on the part of the defendant in the care of it.</p> <p>2. Nor may he recover, in the absence of proof that he suggested and contrived the appliance, where the danger of using it was patent and known to him, and ho might have used another arrangement provided for him, which was more safe, though not perhaps so convenient.</p>
