¶1This case falls fully within the decision in Drake v. White, 117 Mass. 10. Indeed, the mention in the contract now before us, that customary wear and tear are excepted from the defendant’s agreement, furnishes an additional reason for holding that injury from inevitable accident is not excepted.
¶2Exceptions overruled.
