wood, the lessee, under the Midland Company, of the land
on which the stabling premises were being built for Messrs.
Hunt. A number of witnesses having been examined the
jury returned the following verdict :—" That these men
have met with their death by the fall of the tunnel, mused
by the injudicious removal of the earth from the lower side

a want of discretion in the architect, on the first fall of the
stable wall, not giving notice to the Midland Company."
