   PER CURIAM.

The defendant’s responsibility for the injury to plaintiffs’ materials and the damage to the extent of $165.18 was established on the trial. 'Any damage beyond that sum is entirely speculative, and not based upon sufficient evidence to sustain the judgment.

The judgment will therefore be modified by deducting therefrom $34.82, and as modified affirmed, without costs to either party of this appeal.
