This is an action to recover damages for injuries to the plaintiff’s wife by reason of a defective bridge. At the commencement of the trial the defendant objected to any evidence being given under the complaint in the action, and moved for judgment of dismissal upon the pleadings, on the ground that the complaint does not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action. The objection w.as overruled, and the motion denied, to which the defendant’s counsel excepted. In support of his exception the defendant’s counsel urges several objections to the complaint.
