Opinion by
Mr. Justice Moschzisker,
On June 11,1910, between 5 and 6 o’clock in the morning, Lawrence Glancy, the plaintiff’s, husband, was found dead at the foot of a declivity or slope adjacent to Island avenue, a street in the defendant borough. The plaintiff alleged that the defendant maintained a defective, unsafe and unguarded sidewalk on the top and at the edge of this slope, and she recovered a verdict upon the theory that her husband’s death was due to this act of negligence. Judgment was entered accordingly, and the defendant has appealed.
