U.S. Supreme Court
Dunlap v. Northern R. Co., 130 U.S. 649 (1889)
Dunlap v. Northern Railroad Company
No. 256
Argued April 17, 1889
Decided Hay 13, 1889
130 U.S. 649
ERROR TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE UNITED
STATES FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA
Syllabus
When, in an action brought by an employee of a railroad company to recover damages for injuries caused by the negligence of other employer, the defense of contributory negligence is set up, the plaintiff is entitled to have the question submitted to the jury unless no recovery could be had upon any view which could be properly taken of the facts which the evidence tended to establish.
This Court will not, by a technical construction of an obscure record, preclude itself from correcting an error committed in the trial below if a construction can be given to it which will give jurisdiction.
