Represented the defendant shopkeeper, who was held liable to contribute one third to the damages payable by the manufacturer of caustic soda bottles on grounds that it was negligent to display the product on a shelf accessible to young children, when the label on the bottle contained a warning that the contents could cause severe burns and that the bottle should be kept out of the reach of children.
