Supreme Court of Connecticut Third Judicial District, New Haven, June Term, 1930.
WHEELER, C. J., MALTBIE, HAINES, HINMAN and BANKS, Js.
Argued June 12th, 1930
Decided July 31st, 1930.
ACTION to recover damages for personal injuries, alleged to have been caused by the defendant’s negligence, brought to the Superior Court in Fairfield County and tried to the jury before John Richards Booth, J.; verdict for the plaintiff, which the trial court set aside, and from this decision the plaintiff appealed. No error.
George E. Beers and Samuel A. Davis, with whom, on the brief, was William L. Beers, for the appellant (plaintiff).
Charles A. Hallock, for the appellee (defendant).
PER CURIAM.
The plaintiff sues to recover damages for a personal injury to him alleged to have been caused by the negligence of the defendant who, in disregard of his duty, permitted the plaintiff in the course of his employment, to use a tool which was defective and unfit for use, which defendant had knowledge of, but he had no knowledge of.
The court set the verdict in favor of the plaintiff aside because it “was unable to find sufficient evidence on which to base this verdict.”
We cannot hold, upon a review of this evidence, that the court committed error in setting this verdict aside.
There is no error.
