Case Of Desrosiers Against
Bourn Heard by Court.

Chief Justice Stiness and Justices Til
linghast and Rogers today heard argu-
ments on the defendants demurrer In
the case of Peter Desrosiers vs. A. o.

ligence is alleged.
Desrosiers was injured by having his
hand and arm drawn into the rolls OF
calendering machine while feeding
sheets of rubber To the same fellow
servant tried to stop the machinery bnc
could not do 50.
Plalntin contends thar the appliance for
starting and stopping the machine was
so defectively constructed that the ma
chine could not be stopped while rubber
was being run between the rolls, and that
he was unaware of that fact The de-
fendant In this demurrer says the declara-
ton shows the plaintiff was guilty OF
contributory negligence and that the al
legged neglect of the defendant was not
the proximate cause Of the accident.
