Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
No proper rule of damages was laid down by the court in its charge to the jury, and on an examination of the whole record we are satisfied that there should be a new trial of this case. The questions put by the court at page 94 of the minutes, which were duly excepted to, cannot but fail to have affected the jury in arriving at their determination. Judgfnent reversed, and new trial ordered, with costs' to appellants to abide the event. . . , . .
