As we have ordered a new trial of this case in the consideration of the defendant's appeal, it is useless to pass upon the alleged errors which are assigned in the plaintiff's appeal. The rulings may be different on the next trial and the case presented in an entirely different aspect. Besides, the plaintiff will derive from the new trial granted in the other appeal all the advantage he now seeks. The whole matter is reopened for a new investigation, and we can do no more than this for him, should we review the rulings of the court to which he has excepted. If we sustained any one or all of his assignments, the result would be the same as it is now — that is, a new trial. We must, therefore, take the usual course in such cases and dismiss the appeal.
Appeal dismissed.
