Syllabus

<p>Negligence — Master and servant — Place of employment — Notice of danger — • Contributory negligence — Nonsuit.</p> <p>In an action by a workman against his employer to recover damages for injuries sustained in a rolling-mill, a nonsuit is properly entered, where it appears that the injuries were caused by a defective crane, that the plaintiff had been working near the crane, although not at it, for over three months, that the defect in the crane was visible to every one, and must have been known to plaintiff, that the defendant was not notified of the danger, and that no person ever directed the plaintiff particularly to work in the position in which he was injured, knowing it to be a dangerous one.</p>
