        "text": "Pee. Curiam.\nAs tlie learned counsel for tlie defendant were prevented by unavoidable delay, from favoring us with an argument, we liave given their carefully prepared brief, as well as the record, a very careful examination. There are no assignments of error presented in their brief relating to the rejection or admission of testimony. All the alleged errors pointed out and discussed relate to the charge of the court. To discuss them seriatim is unnecessary and would be simply in large measure repeating what has been said in the opinion of Mr. Justice Brown on the former hearing of the case. 147 N. C., 586.\nThere is abundant evidence to show that Michael in his relation to plaintiff was not a fellow servant but a vice\" principal, applying the test contended for by the defendant. But whether Michael was a fellow servant or not is not essential in the determination of this case.\nWe have held that \u201cthe defendant company owed to its employees, who were directed to work on this scaffold, the' duty to exorcise due care in selecting materials reasonably suitable and safe for its construction.\u201d p. 587.\nThere is evidence that the defendant delegated the performance of this duty to Michael and, therefore, whatever place in its service Michael filled, the defendant is responsible for the manner in which he discharged this duty Tanner v. Lumber Co., 140 N. C., 475, and cases cited in former opinion.\nThe law of this case was settled on the first appeal, and the questions now presented are almost exclusively of fact. We think his Honor correctly presented the matter to the jury in the light of our former opinion.\nNo error.",
