Stewart Harkinson, By His Father and Next Friend v. Manchester

April 4, 1939 - Opinion

Unanimous

Hillsborough,

April 4, 1939.

No. 3018.

Stewart Harkinson, by his father and next friend v. Manchester.

Doyle & Doyle (Mr. Paul J. Doyle orally), for the plaintiff.

William H. Craig and O’Connor & Saidel (Mr. D. Frederick O’Con-nor orally), for the defendant.

Per Curiam.

This case is governed by the rule stated in Piasecny v. Manchester, 82 N. H. 458. Whether contemporary expansions of the field of governmental activities demand a corresponding expansion of the scope of municipal liability for the manner of performing public duties, is a matter for legislative rather than judicial determination.

Exception overruled.
