Liability for Acts or Hired Men.

Few farmers have a correct idea of
the extent of their liability for acts of
hired help. Judge Parrish, in a late
address before the Grand Rapids
(Michigan) Farmers Club, explained
the rule of the common law in relation
to the torts and negligence of farm en-
ployes. The farmer, according TO this
authority, sis responsible in damages
to third persons for wrong acts or neg
ligence of hired help occasioning injury,
whether the act be one of omission or
commission; whether in conformance
to his orders or even in disobedience to
them, by negligence, fraud, deceit, or
even willful misconduct. so long as it
was in the course OF the employment.
For instances: The farmer has a horse
affected with CHAMBERS or heaves and
he orders his hired man to take it out
on the road and sell it or trade it off
He is told not to warrant or recommend
the horse, or to resort to any jockey
tricks in order to make a sale. The
first person met is stumped for a trade.
The hired man is asked if the horse is
sound and he answers: Perfectly so;
not blemish or fault about him; and
that he would not be afraid to warrant
him." The trade is made, and the en-
ployer is liable for the. deceit, because
the swindle was in the course of the
employment.
A hired man in driving a neighbor $
COW out of his employers corn-6eld,
the employer liable for the value of the
COW.
A hired man taking by mistake bag
of barley instead of oats, fed some df
the grain to the horses, put cievis in
the bag and left it in the old place, say
ing nothing about the matter. The
farmer filed the bag with ears of corn
and took it to mill; in grinding the
clevis injured the cracker. The farmer
was held for the damage.
A farmer is liable for trespass of his
hired man. done honestly in the course
OF his employment-as cutting timber
on land of an adjacent proprietor.
1t being the duty of the employee to
unload certain load of wood, and by
throwing it overheard he accidentally
or purposely wounds by-stauder, the
employer is liable. But il the unload
ing was no part of his duty at the time,
there would be no liability. The test
OF responsibility is not whether the act
was done according to instructions, but
whether done in the prosecution of the
work he was doing for his employer.
IL the hired man, in performing q par
tlcillar act in particular manner, de-
parts from instructions to infiict a wan
ton injury on third person, the en-
ployeri is not liable.
We give the above IS both important
and interesting information. and to i'm
press upon farmers the nece sity of ex.
treme caution in choosing help. There
are other grave reasons why care should
be exercised in this matter, but this Is
sufficient for the present. Negligent,
careless help can infiict serious loss up
on their principal. even when he thinks
himself least LIABLE rGirie Farmer.
