Action to recover damages for negligence in setting fire to and burning the plaintiff’s store and dwelling-house, and their contents, brought to the Superior Court in New Haven County and tried to the jury before George W. Wheeler, J. ; verdict and judgment for the plaintiff for $9,178, and appeal by the defendant for alleged errors in the rulings and charge of the court. The case is sufficiently stated in the opinion.
1Opinion of the CourtTorrance, C. J.
The new trial heretofore granted on the plaintiff’s appeal in this cause (72 Conn. 408) resulted in a verdict and judgment for the plaintiff; and the defendant now appeals for alleged errors of the trial court in its rulings and in its charge to the jury. The evidence produced by both sides on this second trial was substantially the same as that produced by them on the first trial; and the substance of it is so fully stated in the report of this case in the 72d Conn, that it is unnecessary to restate here anything more than the substance of some of the facts found upon the record.
