Syllabus

<p>1. In an action against an employer to recover damages for personal injuries received by an employee, from the falling of a belt, from a grinder shaft about which he was working, the point was affirmed that the negligence of a fellow-servant concurring with that of the master would not relieve the latter from liability: assignment of error abandoned.</p> <p>2. Where instruction was asked, in such action, that, if the jury found certain facts as to the position of the shaft and belt; and that the plaintiff crowded himself into that position, he was guilty of contributory neg-ligenee, it was not error to affirm the point with a qualification calling attention to the plaintiff’s want of knowledge and instruction as to the method oí operation.</p>
