Reid sued the Central Railroad and Banking Com
"We think the court was right in granting this non-suit. Bo far as this testimony discloses, the rope furnished this plaintiff by the defendant for the purpose of cleaning out the well, was a good rope. It was carefully examined, both by the plaintiff and the overseer of the road, and there was no defect in it which could be discovered by the use of ordinary care. There was no negligence shown by the testimony on the part of the defendant or of the plaintiff. Both parties pronounced it good. It appears from the evidence to have been one of those accidents which could not have been foreseen, so as to have provided against the accident, by either party.
Judgment affirmed.
