Head Matter:
Thomas v. Atlanta Machine Works.

Opinion:
Cobb, J.
Taking the evidence as a whole and considering it in that light which is most favorable to the plaintiff's contention, the occurrence out of which the injury to the plaintiff arose was either a pure casualty or one of the ordinary risks of the particular employment which the employee necessarily assumed. In either event no liability arose against the defendant, and a nonsuit was properly granted.
