Supreme Court rules piano damage from inevitable accident liable
In Charles O Harvey v Murray the court overruled the defendant’s exceptions. A piano leased from Beethoven piano rooms at Albion House Nantasket Beach was damaged when the Albion House blew over on July 16. The lease required return in as good order as when received. The plaintiff paid $65 to repair and sued for damages. The judge refused to instruct that inevitable accident absolves liability. The full court sustained the jury verdict finding the defendant liable under the contract.
