Brown, J.

The plaintiff claimed that while he was on the defendant’s property to obtain goods that were to be delivered for the defendant he descended a ladder and his foot came in contact with a reel or spool at the bottom of the ladder which the defendant had negligently permitted to be there, causing him to fall and suffer injury.
