No. 18,317.\n(Mot to be reported in full.)\nError to the Superior Court of Cook County; the Hon. Ben M. Smith, Judge, presiding. Heard in the Branch Appellate Court at the October term, 1912.\nAffirmed.\nOpinion filed June 24, 1914.\nStatement of the Case.\nAction by Michael Laurie against Barber Asphalt Paving Company, a corporation, to recover for personal injuries received by plaintiff while riding on a board extending from the rear of one of defendant\u2019s wagons while being transported to a place in a street for the purpose of repairing the same. The injury resulted from the pole of a rear wagon striking plaintiff after the front wagon on which he was riding had stopped. To reverse a judgment entered on a directed verdict for defendant at the close of all the evidence, plaintiff prosecutes a writ of error.\nJames D. Power, for plaintiff in error.\nRalph F. Potter, for defendant in error.\nAbstract of the Decision.\n1. Master and servant, \u00a7 250 \u2014when laborer is fellow-servant with driver of wagon. A laborer employed with a gang of men to repair asphalt pavement, held to be a fellow-servant with the drivers of the wagons used, where they were all working under the direction of one foreman and such laborer was injured by a collision resulting from the negligence of the drivers of the wagons while being transported to repair streets.\n2. Master and servant, \u00a7 474*\u2014when servant riding in dangerous position on wagon guilty of contributory negligence. Evidence held sufficient to warrant the jury in finding a member of an asphalt paving gang guilty of contributory negligence in riding on the outside of a wagon box, where he rode in such position of danger against the instructions of his foreman and without his knowledge and without any necessity or excuse for so riding.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section number."
