Syllabus
<p>Master and Servant — Negligence—Evidence—Prima Facie Case. The doctrine of res ipsa loquitur may properly be applied to the relation of master and servant, where the facts eliminate blame on the part of the servant; the contrary rule being unreasonable and unjust in that it gives the master the benefit of the presumption in every case and the servant in none.</p> <p>Same. The doctrine of res ipsa loquitur is not confined to cases where one is the insurer of another’s safety.</p>
