1Opinion of the CourtLoring, J.
The learned counsel for the plaintiff has contended that the case which was proved in the second trial at which the exceptions now before us were taken is not within the rule laid down when the first of these two cases was here before, (Jones v. Collins, 177 Mass. 444,) and also laid down in Bliss v. Deerfield, 13 Pick. 102, and Compton v. Revere, 179 Mass. 413. He contends that the cases now before us come within the rule laid down in White v. Boston, 122 Mass. 491; Butman v. Newton, 179 Mass. 1; Leonard v. Boston, 183 Mass. 68; Sampson v. Boston, 184 Mass. 46; Hyde v. Boston, 186 Mass. 115.
