Mr. Jackson rubmitted that be bed no case to meet. This was an action for negligence brought against the Electris Light Co., and one of the first things Mr. Harris had to prove was whether the damages wore oaused by am. ployees of the Electric Light Co., and, moreover, were caused by negligence. There was ne evidence whatever that this occurred negligent ly, unless the mere fact that the fan was knocked down was evidence of negligence. There was no evidenco whatever that the man who knocked down the fan was in the employ of the defendant Company Lam Woo's men were there, and others.
Mr. Harris-Prove it.
Mr. Jackson-It is not up to me to prove the plaintiff's case. He has to prove that our men were there at 11.30, and that they negligently caused this accident, and there has not been a scrap of evidenes to prove it.
