McKIM AND KENNEDY VS. MASON. 189 cast iron box secured to the head-blocks, and the head-blocks rest on a stone foundation, resting on the earth. The steam- pipe passed through each room of the mill, and waa fastened by bolts running through each girder, and having a hook at the end on which the pipe rested, but is not fastened to them. The tanks were set on the floor of the first and second stories. The other appurtenances were a set of elevator irons, eighty- four wrought iron shafts, with cast iron pulleys, hangers, cou- plings, &c. The elevator irons were set into a groove cut into the ends of the joists, and this was all the fastening they had. The wrought iron shafts rest in hangers bolted to the building and secured in the flanges by caps screwed to the hangers. The pulleys were fastened to shaftings which are attached to the cards. The Messrs. Denmead also furnished certain large duck looms, which were fastened to the floors of the mill by screws. The machinery furnished and claimed by the Savage Manu- facturing Company, consisted of the machinery used in the various rooms of the mill, such as speeders, cards, looms, twisters, spinning-frames, willow, mule-beamer, spreader, ball- ing machine, spoolers, &c. The willow was on the second floor, bolted through the floor, and the ceiling of the first floor. The cards were on the second floor, and fastened by screws 2^ inches long, which went through the first floor into the second floor, consisting of joists. The fastening of the other machinery was in a similar manner. It was so fastened to keep it in its place and prevent it from moving about. Various witnesses testified that this machinery could be re- moved with care, without injury to itself or serious injury to the building in which it was placed. It was further proved that such machinery was regarded as personal property, was insured separate from the building, and was frequently owned by different parties. The business carried on in the factory was the manufacture of cotton duck. The other facts of the case are all sufficiently stated in the opinion of the Chancellor.] |
