“"Article 2317. Acts of others and of things in custody. We are responsible, not only for the damages occasioned by our own act, but for that which is caused by the act of persons for whom we are answerable, or of the things which we have in our custody. This, however, is to be understood with the following modification.” "Article 2322. • Damage caused by ruin of building.
