mems compensation law means. And the
best way 10 illustrate the working of the
new law Is by comparison of actual

house in which he was employed and fell
through an opening He was injured 70

''In August, 1905. he brought an action
in the Supreme Court 10 recover dam

TO a jury. which disagreed In 1908 sec
ond trial was had and the jury returned
a verdict for 5000, which was subse-
auently set aside. A third trial was held
in 1908 and the complaint dismissed.
IAN appeal was taken to the Appellate
Division and in March, 1910, five years
after the accident, the Appellate Division
affirmed the decision Of the lower court,
Diminishing the complaint.
