1Opinion of the CourtAvery, J.
The plaintiff brought this action to recover damages for injuries which he claimed to have received on January 22, 1938, at about 8.50 in the morning when, while walking on the sidewalk on the westerly side of Main Street at a point approximately adjacent to the Dennis Funeral Home, he slipped and fell and was injured. He claimed that his injury was caused by snow and ice upon the sidewalk. After a trial to the jury a verdict was returned in favor of the defendant town and the plaintiff has appealed. The only errors assigned relate to the charge of the court and a ruling upon evidence.
