Opinion

Per Curiam:

It is too clear for argument that "McGee cannot be held for the accident which befell John Maguire. The scaffolding was necessarily of a temporary character, erected by the defendant’s employees for their own purposes; and had one of them been injured by it, he could not have recovered from his employer; much less, therefore, can he be held for an injury to a stranger, to whom he owed no duty whatever.

The judgment is affirmed.
