BUCH V. AMORY MANUFACTURING CO.
69 N.H. 257, 44 A. 809 (1897)
NATURE OF THE CASE: Amory (D) sought review of a decision of a trial court which entered a verdict for Buch (P) in his action for damages for personal injuries caused by catching his hand in a set of gears in D's plant.
FACTS: Buch (P), an eight-year-old boy, trespassed into Amory Manufacturing Co.'s (D) mill. D told P to leave. However, P did not leave because he did not understand English. P's hand was crushed in a machine his brother, an employee of D's, was showing him how to use the machine. P sued for damages, claiming D had a duty to P and was negligent in not forcibly ejecting him. The trial court denied D's motion for a directed verdict. D appealed. The appellate court set aside the verdict for P and held for D.
