Ogden v. Libby

This is an action by the plaintiff, a customer in defendants’ hardware store, to recover for injuries sustained in falling through an opening in the floor. The case is before us, after a jury verdict and judgment for the plaintiff, on appeal from denial of defendants’ motion for entry of judgment n.o.v., or in the alternative for a new trial. Under the familiar rules the verdict stands unless manifestly wrong and we take the evidence in the light most favorable to the successful party. Neal et al. v. Linnell, 156 Me. 1, 157 A. (2nd) 231; Fossett et al. v. Durant, 150 Me. 413, 113 A. (2nd) 620.
