ANNUAL REPORTS.
This review of the authorities leads us to the conclusion that the case of Taunton v. Wareham, 153 Mass. 193, so far as the point now before us is concerned, was erroneously decided and should be overruled; and that the ruling requested by the plaintiff, being in accordance with the weight of authority in this Commonwealth, should have been given.
Exceptions sustained.
Respectfully submitted,
