Opinion of the Court
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.
