City of Staunton v. Kerr

Mrs. Florence A. Kerr, of the county of Augusta, brought suit against the city of Staunton to recover damages for injuries sustained by her because of a defect in the sidewalk on North Central avenue in said city, which constituted, as she claimed, negligent conduct on the part of the city.

The case was tried before a jury, which rendered a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for the sum of $3,000, which verdict was sustained by the trial court.

The case is before this court upon a writ of error and supersedeas awarded by it. The parties will be referred to as they were related in the trial court.
