MORGAN CASE IN
SUPREME COURT
Argued by o. b. Hughes for Morgan. III.
g. Barber for Gould and A. S. BlOOmer
for Vermont Marble Company.

The case of Stephen Morgan of West
Townshend against Boseley of Fitch
burg, Mass, and others was argued yes
terday in the supreme court at Mont
pelier. THE case involves the work
mems compensation act and has excited
considerable interest locally.
Morgan. who is a lumberman, lost an
eye while in the employ of Boseley about
year and half ago at Windham and
claimed damages of about 81 800 under
the compensation act. At hearing be
fore Holm s. Buttles of Brandon, the
commissioner of industries, decision
was rendered whereby Morgan was
found to be entitled to compensation,
and that John A. Gould and the Travel
erS Insurance Co, insurers for Gould
were the parties liable, Boseley being
Il sub-cOntractor under Gould.
The case was then carried to the
county court, where Judge Frank l..
Fish of Vergennes sustained the findings
of the commissioner of industries.
An appeal was then taken to the su-
preme court upon the question solely of
whether John A Gould and the Travel
ers Insurance Co, or the vermont Mar
bic Co, being the concern which received
the direct benefit of the labor performed
by Morgan and others, was the employer
and therefore liable.
o. b. Hughes appeared for the claim
