Opinion
December 5, 1956.
Richard H. Gens, for the defendant.
G. Harvey Hull, for the plaintiff, submitted a brief.
Exceptions overruled. This is a small claim to recover for damage to a coat, G.L. (Ter. Ed.) c. 219, §§ 21-25, removed from the Municipal Court of the City of Boston to the Superior Court where it was tried before a judge without a jury who found in favor of the plaintiff for $50. The coat was delivered to the defendant to be cleaned and when it was returned to the plaintiff "the whole thing was torn to pieces . . . [it] was stiff as a board, like it has been boiled." No formal pleadings were filed in the Superior Court. There was no error in denying the defendant's requests. Poole v. Boston Maine Railroad, 212 Mass. 596. Garrett v. M. McDonough Co. 297 Mass. 58.
