Michigan Court of Appeals August 11, 1980, Docket 78-3075 (Knight v. State)

*229

Mackenzie, P.J.

This appeal involves the issue of whether the state was negligent or made negligent or intentional misrepresentations in the placement of a mental patient on plaintiffs’ dairy farm without disclosing his alleged fire-setting propensities. Recovery was sought for damages from a fire which destroyed the entire contents of plaintiffs’ barn on the evening of January 12, 1970.
