BAILBOA.]' CoMPANIEB-RECElVERB-tNJURIES TO EMPLOYE-WA.GES DURING RECOVERY.
Under the rule in Freundlich's Gase,38 Fed. Rep. 701, a receiver of a railroad company ordered to pay wages to an employe of the road during recovery from injuries received in the line of his duty, and without fault.
In Equity. On exceptions tomaster's report. Rouse k Grant, for intervenol'. Hawe k Prentiss, for receiver. PARDEE,;1. The interven(>r claims damages for personal injuriesre'byliim from the f/ilolling of a sectioD."house of the defendant: for the pain tlndsnffering occasioned thereby; .for the amount of his wages during the time he was unable to work; and the further sum of $206:10, for the loss of certain of his personal effects by the loss of said house,and charges that the section-house Was 014, rotten, and in a dangeJ;ous condition; that of this the receiver was repeatedly and that the receiver promised to have the house properly repaired, but failel! to have it done; that the house fell upon intervenor during a storm, 'the 19, 1888, causing the injuries for which he aska damnjghto,f ages. ":'J,'he master finds: the section-pause was safe. and sufficient for its purpose. and , discharged the degree of care required bylaw of the railway company; second; that the receiver was not notified that the house wRsdangerolls. but thRtit leaked', arid needed partitions to separate the laborers occupying it; third, that the storm was of such an unusual and terrific character, so little to be expected. that the failure on the part of the defendant to build the house strong enough to resist tbe pressure of such a wind was not any lack of ordinary care and ,prudence, but that the destruction of the section-house was due to the act of God." " " The presented to these findings have rendered it to exaqline and consider the evidence ,submitted in the case, alld Buch exami,nation and consideration I have given. I find the weight of the eyide/lCeBUpports these findings, and thaUhe exceptions thereto are not well, taken,. This disposes of ,the main case., .
