In our judgment, the petition states a cause of action, good at least as against a general demurrer; and as the court sustained both the general and the special demurrers, the judgment must be reversed, for, as was said by this court in Chappell v. Western Railway, 8 Ga. App. 787, 789 ( 70 S. E. 308 ), “the rule of decision in cases where the trial judge has sustained both general and special demurrers is for this court to see if a cause of action is set forth; and if it is found that the court erred in overruling [sustaining] the general demurrer, the judgment will be reversed, leaving the …

Powell, J.

This is a hard case, and there is always a danger that hard eases will tempt judges into making decisions contrary to the law; and personally we regret that we have to give this ease the end the law compels us to give it. A common laborer engaged in hazardous employment is hurt by one of the hazards of that employment. The only fault attributable to him (if such a thing can be called a fault) is that -he exposed himself to these dangers in order to earn his daily bread. It does look hard that he must stand all the loss resulting from the injury. And yet, under the facts of this case and the law applicable thereto, such is the necessary result; for, despite the plausibility with which his able counsel have grouped the facts toward giving the case the appearance of being actionable as against the master, a careful study of the facts alleged shows that a legal cause of action does not exist.

Judgment affirmed.
