Appeal allowed because the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the appellant breached its statutory duty: material findings of danger relied upon (obstruction preventing tractor use and defects in a ladder stand) were unsupported or irrelevant to the fatal accident, the appellant lacked responsibility for the obstructing goods and tractors belonged to a third party, and the deceased acted contrary to instructions; accordingly the conviction was unsafe and was quashed.
