Syllabus
<p>Master and Servant — Appliances—Guards—Factory Act — Evidence — Sufficiency. Whether it was practicable for the rollers in front of an edger in a sawmill to have been guarded under the factory act is for the jury where it appears that they might-have been effectively guarded by a stationary rod across the front of the edger and a dead roller in front of the live roller.</p> <p>Same'— Contributory Negligence — Evidence — Sufficiency. Whether an operator of an edger was guilty of contributory negligence in oiling the machine while the rollers were in motion, is for the jury, where it appears that he was instructed to do so, that was the customary practice, oiling had to be done frequently, and to stop the rollers would have caused delay.</p>
