Moulton v. Gage
138 Mass. 390
Mass.1885Check TreatmentThe ruling was correct. The plaintiff was employed to work upon the platform as it was constructed. There was no hidden defect in it; it was what it appeared to be. The absence of the railing and the risks consequent thereon were obvious, and as well known to the plaintiff as to the defendants ; and, upon familiar principles, the plaintiff cannot recover for injuries sustained in consequence of it.
Exceptions overruled.
