DECISION RESERVED.

In the United States court of appeals in
Boston, before Judges Putnam, Webb
and Brown, Tuesday, the case of Peter
Andersen Of Berlin, N. r., vs.sthe Der.
lin Mills company, was heard. The origi-
nal action was brought in the circuit
court for New Hampshire for damages
for personal injuries sustained by the
plaintiff, aged y years, while employed
in it's mill, owing to it's alleged negli-
gence, and was terminated there by the
trial judge directing, on the evidence, a
verdict for the defendant.
The injury to the plaintiff was caused
while he was on a passageway in the base
ment of the defendants mill by his being
caught on revolving shaft which
stretched out into the passageway. The
question mainly involved in the case is
whether the defendant, under the cir
cumstances. owed him a legal duty to
protect him from being injured by the
shafting. Decision was reserved.
II. S. Sargent, E. @. Niles and D. ].
Daily for plaintiff; r. N. Chamberlain and
