Opinion

The judgment of the Supreme Court was entered, March 31st 1879,

Per Curiam.

This case is ruled by the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. v. Hope, 30 P. F. Smith 373. It is a much stronger case than that, for the application of the rule there laid down. The building burned was a storehouse, and the straw fired was a natural incident of the business carried on in the building, and the communication of fire therefore direct to the building without any intermediate cause. Judgment affirmed.’
