Colby v. Inhabitants of Wiscasset

61 Me. 304

Supreme Judicial Court of Maine·Decided July 1, 1873·Published·Cited by 1 cases

Opinion

Danforth, J.

The defect in the requested instruction is that the basis of it is an assumption of the permanence of the injuries to.the plaintiff. This wras a question of fact for the jury upon the evidence in the case, but would have been taken from them if this instruction had been given. It was therefore rightfully withheld.

Exceptions overruled.

Appleton, C. J. j Dickerson, Virgin, and Peters, JJ., concurred.
