IS GIVEN
 ON DEFENDANTS DEMURRER

Judgment for the defendant, George Gilbey of New London, WIS entered on his demurrer in the superior court her on Tuesday morning i'll two cases after the trial of the case of Nelson Howard, administrator, vs. William Redden and George Giloey had been partially tried. This was suit for $1o,o00 for the death of Walter How, ard, 9, who was killed by the fall of a cornice on September IS, 1917, from the Redden building at S57-36l Bank strea-, New London.
 The other was the suis brought by John Williamson on behalf of his son James, IS years old. who was injured in the same accident. This for $l,OOO damages. William Redden, owner of the building, and George Gilbey the contractor who put the cornice on were both made defendants in the suits for damages.
 Judgment was given for Gilbey on his demurrer which was as follows:
 The defendant, George Gilbey, was under no duty to the plaintiff, for the reason that lis contract to build was with the owner of the land and. build ing, William NJ Redden, and said building and cornice were constructed and completed long before the injury to the plaintiff.
 Because the negligence of the de- fendant George Gilbey, was not the proximate cause of the injury to the plaintiff, but was consequential and remote.
 Because the defendant, George Gil bey had made no representations to the plaintiff that said cornice was safe Or properly constructed: iIad no con- tractural or ether relations with him and had no occupation of said build ing or controla over it or duty to- ward it at ;he time of said accident and for a long time prior tC that. Because It appears that there is nc casual connection between the neg l ligence of the defendant, George Gil bey, and the injury to the plaintic.
 Because It does not a3pead from the complaint that the defendant George Gilbey, owned any duty to the plaintiff
