1Opinion of the CourtParker, J.
The plaintiff seeks recovery of damages which it claims to have suffered as the result of the defendant’s negligence in allowing a quantity of eggs, placed in its custody for cold storage, to become tainted with a foreign and unnatural flavor, thereby rendering them unsaleable as first-class storage eggs. Trial in the superior court sitting with a jury resulted in verdict and judgment awarding plaintiff damages in the sum of $578.59, from which the defendant has appealed to this court.
Respondent, Perry Brothers, is a corporation engaged in the produce business in the city of Seattle.…
