CITY WINS AGAIN
The Supreme Court Decides
Against 0Imstead.
He Was Injured While Building Barn For the
City Through the Negligence of An
other EmpIoye.

An opinion was handed down by the
Supreme court yesterday in the case of
A. e. Olmstead VS.. the City of Raleigh
holding thuat there was no error in the
lower court, and that consequently the
city owed no damages to complainant,
who was injured by the collapse of the
city's barn on the tract of land pur-
chased for the site of a smallpox hos
pital.
Olmstead was employed through the
city sanitary officer to superintend the
building of the woodwork on the barn
and a man named Leighton, employed to
superintend the farm. was instructed to
do the rock work, or under pinning. In
raising the barn, Olmstead used temper
airy braces nailed to the upright pieces
and the foundation stills. While engaged
in doing the under pinning, Leighton
Knocked off these braces from the stills,
causing the building to collapse, and in
it's fall Olmstead was injured.
The plaintiff charged negligence and
carelessness in knocking off the temper
ary braces: and the defendant averred
that the braces were in the way of Leigh
ton and were knocked off by him in the
proper discharge of his duty.
At the last civil term of Superior court
no damages were awarded, and an appeal
was taken.
Before the Supreme court the city's
counsel argued that the judgment should
be sustained, first, on the ground that
the plaintiff contributed to his own in
jury by his negligence; second, that the
defendant cannot be held liable for any
negligence of the part of the officers OF
it's health department.; and third, that
the plaintiff and Leighton were fellow
servants of the defendant.
In its opinion the court stated that
it saw nothing in the evidence to show
cOntributory negligence on the part of the
plaintiff. The work was purely for the
benefit of the city. and the contract with
the sanitary arrangements of the city
was only incidental to that department.
as it was not concerning the public
health but the protection of the citys
property. But the plaintiff and Leighton
wree held to be fellow servants of the
city.
L Consequently the city is not held liable
for damages due to the negligence of one
Of it's employees with regard to another.
