Grantz v. Price
Grantz v. Price
Opinion of the Court
We discover no error in the first five specifications. They all refer to the charge of the court and the answers to points. The portions of the charge, embraced in the first and second assignments, are a mere statement by the court of the plaintiff’s allegations. The third and fourth assignments are general in their character, and relate in the main to alleged errors-of omission. We cannot reverse the court below for “not reviewing and analyzing the evidence,” and for “not instructing the jury sufficiently as to the rules for weighing the value of testimony.” If more specific instructions were desired, they could have been obtained by asking for them in the usual way. The qualification of defendants’ second point was justified by the ruling of this court when the case was here before. See Price v. Grantz, 118 Pa. 402. The matter complained of" in the sixth assignment was not excepted to below, and for this reason will not be discussed. Nothing, therefore, is to be implied from our silence.
Judgment affirmed.

Where portions of a charge, assigned for error, are mere statements by the court of a party’s allegations; or, where specifications of error are general in character and relate to alleged errors of omission to charge, no sufficient cause for reversal is presented. 2. The court below will not be reversed for “ not reviewing and analyzing the evidence; ” nor for “ not instructing the jury sufficiently as to the rules for weighing the value of testimony.” More specific instructions are obtainable in the usual way. 8. In an action for a private nuisance in the operation of a lead-works, the burden of proof is upon the plaintiff to show that the injuries complained of resulted from the operation of the works, but the jury need not find that such operation is a public nuisance: Price v. Grantz, 118 Pa. 402.
