Syllabus

<p>1. Where portions of a charge, assigned for error, are mere statements by the court of a party’s allegations; or, where specifications of error are general in character and relate to alleged errors of omission to charge, no sufficient cause for reversal is presented.</p> <p>2. The court below will not be reversed for “ not reviewing and analyzing the evidence; ” nor for “ not instructing the jury sufficiently as to the rules for weighing the value of testimony.” More specific instructions are obtainable in the usual way.</p> <p>8. In an action for a private nuisance in the operation of a lead-works, the burden of proof is upon the plaintiff to show that the injuries complained of resulted from the operation of the works, but the jury need not find that such operation is a public nuisance: Price v. Grantz, 118 Pa. 402.</p>
