In curious case a man employed last July
TO sprinkle Paris green potato vines to kill lady
bugs, and on account of the heat he opened his
shirt. with the result that he poisoned by the
Paris green. He sued his employer who entered
demurrer TO the petition. and the learned Judge
sustained the demurrer for the following reasons:
The plaintiff had right in fOro conscentiae or
In foro eXterno. 10 make indecent exposure of
his person while engaged in killing lady bugs; the
defendant exceeded the scope of his employment In
sprinkling Paris green elsewhere than on the po-
tato vines as his special and exclusive agency was
10 kill lady bugs basking In the shade of said po-
tato vines; the plaintiffs act in allowing the de-
PENDANTS Paris green to come in contact with his
flesh instead of with the flesh of the lady bugs
was unauthorized and ultra wires; the mental and
physical suffering of which the plantfr compIains
was the result Of his wrong in misappIving the
defendants Paris green 10 purposes other tba,
those for which he was employed to apply IT, and
besides, Is danlnum absque Rjuria; the plaintiff in
opening his clothes and exposing himself m ,ba
lduN husS ana the Paris green, was guilty of con-
trlbutory negligence; the plaintiff knew rs we'll No
'he defendant that Paris green was poisonous and
II he did not know that Paris green was a poison
then this suit should not have been brought in his
name, but by committee appointed To reprass,,
him.
