1Opinion of the CourtSpalding, J.
This is an action of contract or tort, in five counts, to recover the value of goods destroyed by a fire in the defendant’s freight house in Concord, New Hampshire. The case was submitted on a “statement of agreed facts” and certain evidence introduced by agreement in lieu of oral testimony. Hence it is not a case stated but an agreement as to evidence. Frati v.
