SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT.
BEFoRE JUDGE WALTON

BEfOhE JUD0h WALIONs
THURsDAY-Thomas WEIGH VS.. The Maine Gen.
The evidence was closed early in the forenoon
and the case argued by Mr.. Putnam for the de
PENDANTS and Mr.. Strout for the plaintiff.
Mr. Putnam's points in defense were that WEIGH
In undertaking TO assist In the dumping of the car
was a volunteer or an intermeddler; that he was
not there at the request or by permission Of any
officer or empl0ye of the company having author
ity to make such request or give such permission
stood in the relation of fellow servant and there
fore being injured through the negligence OF fell
low servant he would not be entitled to recover;
thi:, that WEIGH had notice and knew the defec-
tive condition of the car when he went to work
upon it, and therefore assumed the risk.
Judge Walton, among other things, instructed
the jury that a railroad company is not bound TO
use the latest and most approved appliances, but
they are bound to have their cars reasonably safe
more danger to those required to move or handle
1t, in other words, If it renders it less safe 1t is
negligence on the part Of the railroad to continue
to use it without first repairing it; that if the rail-
road company use car that has become broken,
without first repairing it, and the defect renders
It more dangerous or less safe for those who han
die it, the railroad company is guilty OF negli-
gence.
Upon the points made in defense that the plain.
tiff was an intermeddler or stood In the relation
OF fellow servant the Judge instructed the Jury
that person who voluntarily assists the servant
OF another, in particular emergency, cannot re-
cover from the master for an injury caused by the
negligence or misconduct OF such servant. He can
not by his officious conduct impose greater duty
on the master than that which the master owes to
his hired servants; and it is immaterial whether
the injury occurred while assisting the servant
gratueiousy, or at the request Of the latter Care
must be taken, however, to distinguish the case
Of a mere volunteer from that OF one assisting
the servants of another, at their request for the
purpose of expediting his own business or that of
his master. In such case he will not stand in
the relation of fellow servant to them, and II he
Is injured by their negligence their master will be
responsible.
The jury retired about four O'Clock in the after
noon, and after being out half an hour returned
verdict for the plaintiff for eight thousand dollars
