Jordan v. Pittsburgh

Opinion by

Mr. Justice Drew,

These actions in trespass were brought originally against the City of Pittsburgh by the plaintiffs, husband and wife, to recover damages for injuries sustained by the wife as a result of stepping into a hole in a sidewalk at night. By writs of scire facias the property owner and the tenants were brought in. Verdicts were rendered for plaintiffs against the city and the property owner, and in favor of the tenants. Upon refusal of motions by the city and property owner for judgment non obstante veredicto or a new trial, the city alone appealed.

The accident occurred…
