Syllabus

<p>Negligence. In a suit against a city for damages occasioned by reason of a defect in the street, whereby plaintiff was thrown from a wagon and injured, it appeared that the driver of the wagon in which plaintiff was, was drunk, and drove so carelessly as to cause the accident, and that the defect in the street was not such as to be dangerous to a person exercising ordinary care, it was held, that a verdict for near §4000, against the city, should have been set aside.</p>
