Syllabus

<p>There is no liability on the part of a borough, for personal injuries inflicted upon a person who, while walking in broad daylight, slips and falls upon a small ridge of ice on a sidewalk, formed by water dripping from an awning which did not extend far enough over the pavement to carry the water into the street.</p> <p>If the alleged ridge of ice was dangerous, the action should have been against the owner of the awning by which it was caused, and not against the borough: Per Curiam.</p>
