Spade v. Lynn & Boston Railroad
red
1 sentence1943By inferring that the cause was not guaranteed by a battery of substantial nature and there being no appreciable physical injury even if the battery was slight, the trial judge would be justified in treating the case as coming within the doctrine of Spade v.

Nashua River Paper Co. v. Lindsay
green
1 sentence1936The trial court in the ease at bar found “as a fact that the vendee did notify the vendor within a reasonable time of the breach and that he would hold him liable for damages.” Whether notice was given was a question of fact, Nashua Paper Co. v.
