Tutein v. Hurley

Opinion of the Court

Bigelow, C. J.

The injury to the plaintiff’s property was not caused by the act of the defendants in any such sense as to render them liable in this action. The most that can be said is that their act remotely contributed to the accident. But, to support an action, it must appear that the proximate cause of the injury was the misfeasance of the defendants.

Exceptions overruled.
