This action is brought to recover damages for injuries sustained by the plaintiff by reason of the falling of a ceiling in her apartment which'she rented from the defendant. The evidence on behalf of the plaintiff was that the ceiling had been cracked for some time before it fell and the plaintiff had notified the janitor, who- was a brother of the defendant and in charge of the property, of its dangerous condition. The defendant’s brother looked at it and said: “ I am responsible for the ceiling, it is in good condition for about two years yet and don’t worry.”
