Pennsylvania & New York Canal & Railroad v. Lacey
89 Pa. 458 | Pa. | 1879
The judgment of the Supreme Court was entered, March 31st 1879,
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.’
