1916And when the court said to the jury that they were not to accept the opinions of such witnesses, based upon an assumed state of facts, and not upon a direct knowledge of the facts, “unless it comports and agrees with your common sense and is consistent with the facts proven in the case, as such facts are determined by you from a fair preponderance of all of the evidence in the case,” the court went no further in point of substance than did the charge of the court in Moratzky v. Wirth, 74 Minn. 146 , 76 N. W. 1032 , where the instructions were held not error.
