BaeNHIll, J.,
dissenting: I am compelled to enter my dissent for the reason, in my opinion, there is no evidence in the record tending to show that the Coca-Cola handled by plaintiff at the time he was injured and that in the possession of the other witnesses who gave evidence of other instances of bursting bottles was manufactured or bottled at or about *35tbe same time. Tbis is an essential link in tbe circumstantial evidence tending to establish negligence on tbe part of defendant under tbe “other instances” doctrine. In tbe absence of such proof I vote to sustain tbe exception to tbe refusal of tbe court to dismiss as in case of nonsuit.
