defective condition of the collar was the
direct and immediate cause of the in
jury; that this defective condition was
known or should have been known to
the management. and that defendant
was negligent in not furnishing reason
ably safe appliances.
C"ntrihutory negligence is an issue of
fact. and where the evidence is conflict
ing the finding of the trial Judge will
not he disturbed unless clearly wrong.
y here the evidence does not show
that plaintiff was aware of the defective
condition Of the collar, the circumstances
that he did not take precautions against
an unknown danger is insufficient to
charge him with negligence Judgment
