Supreme Court of Rhode Island·Decided April 18, 1904·Published

Opinion

Per Curiam.

The action is trespass on the case, and the declaration alleges a violent assault by a servant of the defendant, without cause or provocation, but it does not show that it was done with authority from the master, or within the scope of the servant’s employment.

These facts must appear before the master can be held liable. Mossessian v. Callender, 24 R. I. 168; Howe v. Newmarch; 12 Allen, 49.

Demurrer to the declaration sustained.
