Syllabus

<p>Negligence — Master and servant — Dangerous machine — Duty to inn struct.</p> <p>In an action by an employee against his employer to recover damages for personal injuries, the case is for the jury, and a verdict and judgment will be sustained, where the evidence tends to show that the plaintiff was an ignorant man unacquainted with English; that he was set to work at a machine for rolling rubber; that he was injured while working at the machine by material becoming loose on the roller and making a lashing flap which struck his hand; that the defendant knew of this danger, but had given the plaintiff no warning or instructions in reference to it; and that the danger was one which the plaintiff did not know, and could not discover by the exercise of reasonable attention and care.</p>
