Description
These two cases present appeals by the defendant from decrees of a Justice of the Superior Court, sitting in equity, awarding $5,000 to the plaintiff Lunt and $2,950 to the plaintiff Constantine. The plaintiffs are judgment creditors of one Joy C. Small, holding executions against him for the amounts of their awards, recovered in actions at law alleging personal injuries caused by his negligent operation of a motor vehicle. The defendant is the insurer of Small, under a policy of insurance issued to indemnify him against all claims originating in the operation of the particular vehicle, with certain stated exceptions. The proceedings were brought pursuant to the provisions of R. S. 1930, Chap. 60, Sec. 178, and the plaintiffs are entitled to reach and apply insurance money to the extent of their respective awards unless they were employees of Small when the negligence occurred. The policy coverage excludes bodily injury to employees of the insured sustained while engaged in his business. Small was a dealer in potatoes, buying the goods he handled over a considerable area, accepting delivery at the farms or warehouses of his vendors, and providing all necessary handling in connection with the loading, transport and delivery thereof to merchants. The plaintiffs, at an earlier time, had regularly furnished some of the labor incident to the loading of the potatoes handled by Small, but their regular relationship with his business, whatever it may have been, had been terminated prior to the issue of the policy of insurance which is in question, and their only connection with it, after the issue of that policy, was on January 15, 1941 when, at the solicitation of Small, and because his then regular employees were not available, they traveled with him from Brewer to Lincoln or Enfield, performed there the same kind of labor which they had been wont to perform during the earlier period of relationship, and were riding back to Brewer with him in the insured vehicle when the negligence and resulting accident occurred.
