It would have been permissible for the plaintiffs to show the charge the telephone company made for connecting them with the defendant's place of business by the books of the company, Lassone v. Railroad, 66 N.H. 345; Roberts v. Rice, 69 N.H. 472; and since the books were in Vermont the court could permit the plaintiffs to show the charge in the way they did. Roberts v. Company, ante, 491. This disposes of both of the defendant's exceptions.

Exceptions overruled.

All concurred.
