lonsdaI0 Co. Before tho Ap.
pelIat0 Court on D3muner.

Before Chief Justice stiness and Judges
Tilhnghast and Douglas there was a

alleging negligence on the part OF the de-
fendant company in not providing a
proper stool for the plaintiff to sit upon
when not busy as weaver at the de-
fendant's mill I'm Cumberland.
The plaintiffs declaration alleges that
the stool was three legged and was easily
tipped over In one dire ct.on. The girls
skirt brushed against II. tipping Il over
and through the noise Of the machinery
che did not hear 1t fall and II Is alleged
sat upon one OF the sharp pointed legs
The leg entered her body she claims and
lacerated her in such a manner as to
cause permanent injuries.
The defendant demurrer to the declara-
ton on the grounds that there were no
unusual features regarding the stool that
the plaintiff was unaware OF and nothing
Is shown TO Indicate that anything out OF
the ordinary regarding her work called
her attention away from the stools con-
dition.
The demurrer further asserts that
there Is no duty on the part OF the do
fendant shown about furnishing a stool.

defendants automobile, and in the trial
of the case she received verdict OF SSD
damages.
The motion for rc-argumont was based
on the claim that the court enormously
assumed In ia resCrlPtr-t.4z.t- the defend
ant abandoned his claim that the dam
ages were excessive.
The court found that the whole argu-
mcnt I'm the defendants brief and the
cause cited were TO the effect that. where
there is no injury 60 the person from
without. there can be no recovery for
damages resulting from fright or ner-
vous shock" Having decided that there
