Head Matter:
Hillsborough,
April 4, 1939.
No. 3018.
Stewart Harkinson, by his father and next friend v. Manchester.
Doyle & Doyle (Mr. Paul J. Doyle orally), for the plaintiff.
William H. Craig and O’Connor & Saidel (Mr. D. Frederick O’Con-nor orally), for the defendant.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
This case is governed by the rule stated in Piasecny
v. Manchester, 82 N. H. 458. Whether contemporary expansions of the field of governmental activities demand a corresponding expansion of the scope of municipal liability for the manner of performing public duties, is a matter for legislative rather than judicial determination.
Exception overruled.
