De Pledge v. City of New York

Kapper, J.:

Plaintiff, an unmarried woman fifty-seven years old, was injured by slipping on the sidewalk in front of a store on Fulton street, Brooklyn, on February 7, 1920, between five-thirty and six p. M. *11Claiming that the sidewalk upon which she slipped was dangerously defective and negligently maintained, she sued both the city and the store owner. At the outset of the trial it was announced by the corporation counsel that the store owner was no longer in the case. The city is the sole appellant from the judgment, entered in plaintiff’s favor. The material facts are practically undisputed.
