case of Gorham Manufacturing company
against New York. New Haven and

cured a verdict for $4,000 from a jury
for the loss OF certain ice houses by Are.
a large number Of reasons for new
trial were advanced by the defendant.

reasons most strongly set forth today by

Its railroad where the plaintiffs ice
houses are situat ted.
In 1886 the New York. Boston and
Providence road. as then existing and
operating roads. was made liable for
damages caused by fires due TO sparks
from locomotive. At tnat time the de-
fendant's predecessor did not operate any
road near the Ice houses. Later IL was
given the right 10 extend its road to
South Providence.
Section OF the act giving leave TO
extend was as follows said railroad
when the same shall nave been con-
structed. shall he managed. governed and
protected In all respects by the provis-
ions OF the charter and amendments
heretofore granted to the New York;

pany. II Is claimed that the. words
managed, governed and protected do
not give the plaintiffs the right TO re-
cover.
Edwards and Angel are attorneys for
the plaintiff and David s. Baker and
