Description
LUMMUS, Justice. The defendant was carrying a cow by steamer from Nantucket to one Levine in New Bedford. The first mate of the steamer, who was in charge of freight, testified that he knew that the cow was sterile, that sterile cows are 'vicious like,' and that he did not tell these facts to the foreman of the gang engaged in unloading the freight. While being led down the gangplank at New Bedford by a servant of the defendant, the cow broke loose, and ran into the street. Servants of the defendant chased her in a motor truck, and cornered her on two or three occasions, but she escaped. She went her way through the streets, pursued by several servants of the defendant, until she came to a place where the plaintiff was standing on the sidewalk, watching the chase. He heard someone speak, and turned around. When he turned back, the cow was almost upon him. He tried to escape, but was knocked down and hurt. The Judge found for the plaintiff. The Appellate Division dismissed the report, and the defendant appealed.
