    Appeal from a judgment of the circuit court for Wau-kesha county: James J. Dick, Circuit Judge.
    
      Reversed.
    
    The appeal is from a judgment rendered upon a verdict-in favor of the appellant upon appeal to the circuit- court from an award of commissioners in a condemnation proceeding. The respondent filed its petition March 3, 1904, for the appointment of commissioners. The commissioners awarded the plaintiff $206 damages, and to his grantor, Mary E. Peffer, six cents damages. The- plaintiff bought the property in question from Mary E. Peffer on May 28, 1904, together with the right to have and recover damages for the taking of this property by defendant company. The commissioners’ award of damages was filed September 19, 1904. The respondent appealed from the award made to the plaintiff and plaintiff’s wife, but did not appeal from the award made to Mary E. Peffer. Tbe plaintiff, appellant in this court, moved in the circuit court to dismiss the appeal from the award of commissioners to that court, which motion was denied. The land in question abuts on Lincoln avenue. The corporate charter, the grant from the city of Waukesha to use the streets, the scope of the condemnation proceedings as shown in the petition for the appointment of commissioners, and the use of the street, are all as shown in Cosa v. Milwaukee L., H. & T. Go., ante, p. 369,114 N. W. 815, and Marsh v. Milwaukee L., II. & T. Co., post, p. 384, 114 N. W. 804.

The appellant assigns error because the trial court denied his motion to dismiss the respondent’s appeal to the circuit court from the award of commissioners, based on the ground that such appeal did not include the award of nominal damages to Mary E. Peffer. This objection cannot prevail under the rule of Brickles v. Milwaukee L., H. & T. Co., ante, p. 358, 114 N. W. 810. The trial court charged the jury in this case as he did in Marsh v. Milwaukee L., S. & T. Co., post, p. 384, 114 N. W. 804, and for this last error the judgment appealed from must be reversed.

By the Court. — The judgment of the circuit court is reversed, and the cause remanded for a new trial.
