Moulton v. Gage

W. Allen, J. The ruling was correct. The plaintiff was employed to work upon the platform as it was constructed. There was no hidden defect in it; it was what it appeared to be. The absence of the railing and the risks consequent thereon were obvious, and as well known to the plaintiff as to the defendants ; and, upon familiar principles, the plaintiff cannot recover for injuries sustained in consequence of it. Exceptions overruled.
