 co. Y. SANDERS. Action for Damages for Destruction of
 Property by Fire.-Decided Feb. IT,
 1sO6.'-(40 So. Rep. 402).
 1. Appeal Exclusion of Evidence; Prejudice.-Where a witness has al- ready fully stated the matter inquired about, it is noC error to refuse to per init question to be asked calling for the same testimony
 2. Same; Admission of Evidence.-It was not error to permit one shown to be an expert to testify over a general objection that cotton could not be set on fire by steam pipes in plaintiffs cotton dryer. where no pretense was made by defendant that thu fire orig mated in that manner.
 3, Same; Objection not Urged on TrlaL-Where a general objection was interposed to the introduction of evil dence on the trial. particular objections cannot be urged to it for the first time on appeal.
 {. Railroads; Fires; PIeadings; Proof In a complaint charging negligence generally in setting fire to cotton, 1t was competent for plaintiff to show that the fire originated from sparks emitted by the engine either for want of proper equipment or from negli- gence in its operation
 ,. Same Evidence; Instructions.-In this case, 1t was proper for the court to instruct the jury that if they believed from the evidence that the spark ar rester was patched and 80 worn that its meshes were larger than when first made. and that the arrester was not of the best and safest kind used on well regulated railroads. and that just prior to the discovery of the fire sparks of unsual size and in unusual quantities were emitted from the the engine. this made out prina facie, case of negll- gence on defendants part, although such evidence was contradicted.
 6. Pleadings Distunctive Averments. Where each count of the complaint Is in case averrlng only simple negligence, if Is unimportant that the negligence Is averred in the disjunctive: as the same testimony would entitle plaintiff to recover in either, and the same de- lenses would be available to defeat either.
 z Same, nemurrer-Defective or in- definite statements as to negligence, or as to the cause of such negligence. are matters for demurrer.
 s. Trial. Instructlons,-Argumenta- evidence. or that invade the province of the jury are properly refused.

 2.
