21 Pa. Super. 543 | Pa. Super. Ct. | 1902
Opinion by
The plaintiff was employed in the defendants’ factory for
Corcoran v. Wanamaker, 185 Pa. 496, does not apply to the case before us for the reason that there was no evidence in that case to show that the defendants knew that the use of acids complained of would produce the disease from which the plaintiff suffered. In the present case all the witnesses called by the defendants testified that the use of this acid produced external and constitutional injuries, similar in kind although more mild in degree than- those from which this plaintiff suffered, which facts were well known to the defendants prior to the placing of the plaintiff in this position of special hazard. The case was fairly submitted to the jury, the assignments of error are overruled, and the judgment is affirmed.
