115 Iowa 511 | Iowa | 1902
All the .controlling questions involved in this appeal, save one, were decided adversely to appellant in Richardson v. City of Webster City, 111 Iowa, 427, and Milliard v. City of Webster City, 113 Iowa, 220, to which cases reference is made for a statement of the essential facts. The one question which it is claimed was not disposed of, relates to an instruction given by the court on the trial of this case to the effect that the evidence conclusively established defendant’s connection with the wrong done and its liability for any damages which might be proved. The same instruction was given in the Milliard Case, but it is contended on this appeal that no issue .was made in that case regarding defendant’s connection with the wrong, and no evidence introduced by it tending to show that the work was done without its direction or knowledge. The record does not justify the first of these .contentions. In 'the Milliard Case, the question of defendant’s responsibility was in issue.
The evidence as to damage to trees, to shrubbery, and to grass, ancl to the well, was all competent ancl relevant to the issues made by the pleadings, ancl there was no error in admitting it, or in the giving of the instruction with reference thereto. Milliard v. City of Webster City, supra.
There is no error, and the judgment is affirmed.
