Southern Oil Co. v. Church
| Decision Date | 10 June 1903 |
| Parties | SOUTHERN OIL CO. v. CHURCH. |
| Court | Texas Court of Appeals |
The appellant, when it furnished to Hammil & Bro. the derrick, could by the exercise of ordinary care have known that it was defective, as stated in our original finding, and at the time knew that it would be used by the servants of Hammil & Bro. in drilling the well. Hammil & Bro. used the derrick in the ordinary and usual way in drilling the well, and the defective condition of the crown piece of the derrick did not arise by reason of the use by Hammil & Bro., but existed when furnished to them by the appellant. The appellant also furnished Hammil & Bro. the piping or casing used in the well. The iron bolt that struck the plaintiff was not in the crown piece, but in the crown block.
The above are additional findings.
