Frawley v. Sheldon
| Citation | 20 R.I. 258,38 A. 370 |
| Parties | FRAWLEY v. SHELDON. |
| Decision Date | 30 September 1897 |
| Court | United States State Supreme Court of Rhode Island |
Action by Jeremiah J. Frawley against Frank L. Sheldon. Demurrer to declaration sustained.
George N. Littlefield, for plaintiff.
George T. Brown, for defendant.
The declaration states a case merely of negligence of a fellow servant The fact that the foreman who caused the accident was superior in rank to the plaintiff does not entitle him to sue the master, since the negligence alleged was the careless dropping of a hook by the foreman,—an act into which the element of his superiority as a servant did not enter. Mann v. Print Works, 11 R. I. 152. Demurrer sustained, and case remitted to the common pleas division.
