Description
WHITFIELD, C. J. -- This writ of error was taken to a judgment awarding damages for personal injuries sustained by Hannah while working in the lumber company's saw mill. The plaintiff was assisting in repair work about the mill and was told by the man with whom he worked, alleged to be ""his superior workman"", to ask Mr. Thomas who was in charge of the work for a babbitt ladle to be used in the repairing being done. Plaintiff asked Mr. Stokes, the foreman of the mill, for Mr. Thomas, and was told where he could be found. While looking for Mr. Thomas the plaintiff went up a ladder and in going along a board about ten inches wide used by the oilers and millwrights in their duties, passed over a rapidly revolving shaft. In returning the same way the plaintiff's pants caught in a set screw that projected 5/16 or 1/2 of an inch out from a safety collar on the revolving shaft, and the plaintiff was seriously injured.
