new TRIAL REFUSED.
Decision in Case Of PaWiucket S. &
G. P. Co. VS.. Hiram A. Briggs.
Court Holds That Damages Awarded Are
Not Clearly Inadequate.

The appellate court has refused a
new trial in the case of Pawtucket
Steam & Gas Pipe Company VS.. Hiram
A. Briggs. The new trial was asked
chiefly on the ground that an affidavit
of defence was not sufficiently full
which In answer TO declaration charg-
ing an amount due for the putting in of
a heating apparatus alleged that the
heating apparatus did not as promised
heat the house in which it was placed
At the trial Of the case ia the common
pleas division the plaintiff moved for
Judgment for the full amount ON the
ground the affidavit Of defence was not
one coming within the statute. The
plaintiff excepted to the ruling or the
Judge refusing TO direct a verdict lot
the full amount and took the case TO the
appellate court as the jury gave Ver-
diet for much less than the company
claimed
Judge Tllllnghast. who writes the
upiniCn of the court says We think
the court properly ruled that any de-
fecF In the affidavit Of defence was
waived by not attempting to take ad.
vantage thereof until the day agreed
upon for the trial Of the case. The mars
purpose OF the statute evidently is &C
compel the defendant. I'm cases OF this
sort. TO show prima facic at least, that
he has or believes he has valid de-
fence, in part or in whole, TO the plain
tiffs claim and IN what that defence
consists i'm order that the plaintin may
not be put 10 the unnecessary troub.a
and expense Of proving his claim ex-
cept i'm so far as IL is dsputed and also
that ne may not be taken by surprise
by the setting up Of a defence which he
had not anticipated. Another object OF
the statute evidently is t0 narrow the
issues involved i'm the case, as far as
may be. AM thus facilitate the tria
thereof. But as the fling OF the afIida-
Wit Of defence is mainly for the benefit
OF the plaintiff. il is clearly competent
for him 20 waive any defect that may
exist therein.
"Concedlng. then that the affidavit
I'm question was defective Gas we think
IL was), the plaintiffs motion for judg
ment came too late for the reason
given.
Concluding its opinion the court says:
'In view Of the conflict Of testimony
az 20 the terms OF the contract for put
ting i'm Of the heating apparatus and az
20 what the contract Included we can
not say thR~ tho verdict was clearly
against the evidence. or that The dam
ages assessed are inadequate"
