An employer is not liable for an act of his servant done in violation of orders, beyond the scopes of his employment, and without fault on the part of the employer.

DOE, C. J.

The act of setting the fire was not within the scope of the workman's employment, and was not the defendant's act. Wilson v. Peverly, 2 N.H. 548.

Judgment for the defendant.

CLARK, J., did not sit: the others concurred.
