Damages to a Sewing Girl-Numer-
Gus Suits for Damages.

Clerihew & Lothman for $1,000 damages
for injuries received while in the de-
fendant's employ. She claims to have
been hired to operate sewing machine

by steam power, the power being trans
mitted from an engine by means OF
revolving shaft. This shaft was COM
posed of several parts, which were con-
nected together by iron couplings, from
which protruded a number OF bolts or
screws. When this shaft was in rapid
motion, it was impossible for person
to see the protruding bolts, and the
couplings being left carelessly and neg
ligently uncovered and unlocked, made
it very dangerous for person unac-
quainted with the machinery to operate
one of the sewing machines. This
plaintiff was employed on the 9th of
January, 1888, and without being warned
of the danger, was placed at work at a
sewing machine which had underneath
it, and in close proximity to where a
person who was engaged in sewing
would place their feet, one OF these re-
volving couplings. She, not knowing
about the danger, permitted her skirts
to become entangled in the bolts on the
coupling, and was in consequence
thrown violently on the floor and against
the revolving Shaft, thereby receiving
permanent injuries from which she has
suffered great pain, and which nave
crippled her for life.
