Atkins v. Merrick Thread Co.

By the Court. It is the duty of a master, who sets a servant to work in a place of danger, to give him such notice and instruction as are reasonably required by the youth, or inexperience, or want of capacity of the servant. This duty is not confined to cases where the servant is “ a man of manifest imbecility,” and the sixth instruction requested by the defendant was rightly refused. Exceptions overruled.
