Syllabus

<p>Where the suit was for terminating a lease by the destruction of the premises, which had been rented for business purposes, it was error to toll the jury that the difference between the profits shown as likely to accrue to him in those premises, and the profits, if any, which he might make in another stand by the use of reasonable diligence and industry, and the • loss to his stock in trade, is the true measure of damages.</p> <p>The general rule is, that where, there does not appear to have been a willful wrong, or gross negligence, remuneration is restricted to the immediate consequences of the unlawful acts. (For the cases upon the measure of damages, see Paschal’s Dig., Note 540, p. 351.)</p>
