    Hillsborough,
    June, 1894.
    Whitten v. Stockwell & a.
    
    
      Sulloway Topliff and John FT. Riedell, for the plaintiff.
    
      Frank G. Clarke and Charles PL. Burns, for the defendants.
   Per Curiam.

At the close of the evidence the plaintiff moved to amend his declaration, and the defendants moved for a non-suit. Without passing upon the plaintiff’s motion, the court ordered a nonsuit, which is to be set aside if the plaintiff’s motion should have been granted. It is apparent that the nonsuit was ordered upon the ground that the relation of master and servant, as alleged in the declaration, did not exist between the parties. But the ruling of the court did not amount to a finding that there was no evidence of the defendants’ liability on some other ground. It is inferred from the reported facts that there was evidence of their liability under the rule announced in King v. Railroad, 66 N. Y. 181, which both parties regard as the correct rule, and the plaintiff’s motion should have been-granted.

Nonsuit set aside.

Blodgett, J., did not sit: the others concurred.
