Syllabus
<p>INJUBY TO EMPLOYÉ — DANGEBOUS APPLIANCE —ASSUMPTION OP BISK.</p> <p>The master is under a legal obligation to furnish safe appliances to his workmen, and by proper inspection and care to keep them in safe condition. In case of an injury resulting from the breaking of part of the appliances, the master is in better condition to know the cause than the workman. As a general rule, the master must show that he has complied with the obligations imposed upon him. A workman does not, by the mere fact of taking employment, assume the risks of all accidents which may happen from the breaking of part of the appliances.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
