Buch v. Amory Manufacturing Co.

Eight-year-old Buch trespassed into a mill owned by Amory Manufacturing (defendant) while his older brother, who worked there, tried to teach him to operate a machine; a mill overseer saw Buch and told him to leave, but Buch didn't understand English and stayed, and the overseer didn't force him out despite knowing the machinery posed an obvious hazard. Buch's hand was crushed in a machine, and he sued Amory; the trial court denied Amory's motion for a directed verdict, and Amory appealed.
