ROACH V. IMPERIAL MININO CO. 699 �have broken at the 1,100 foot level, while the cage was ascending with the plaintiff 's intestate f rom the 1,300 foot level, and to have fallen down the shaft, "to-wit, more tban 300 feet." From the 1,100 foot level to the bottom of the sbaft is 1,700 feet. The oomplaint does not show wbat it "was that arreated the cage, if it did not go to the bottom of the sbaft, nor anything whicb explains the averment, "to- wit, more tban 300 feet." If there is anything in the case making the distance the cage fell material, it ougbt to be made plainer so that the defendant can meet it. If not, the ambiguity can be removed by striking out the words above quoted. AU that seems material to aver is that the fall of the cage caused the death.

Laws, p. 39) entitled "An act requiring compen- sation for causing death by wrongful acts, neglect, or de- fault:" �" Section 1. Whenever the death of a person ghall be caused by wrong- ful act, neglect, or dofault, and the act, neglect, or default is such as would (if death had not ensued) have entitled the party injured to main- tain an action and recover damages in respect thereof , Ihen, and in every such case, the peraons who, or the corporation which, would have been liable if death had not ensued, shall be liable to an action for damages, notwithstanding the death of the person injured, and although the death shall have been caused under such circumstanees as amount, in law, to a felony. �" Sec. 2.
