Syllabus

<p>Negligence — Defective sidewalk — Question for jury.</p> <p>Where the evidence, though conflicting, tends to show that a board walk maintained by the borough authorities as a sidewalk had been for some time in a defective condition, of which the borough authorities had notice, and that an accident resulting in injury to the plaintiff occurred from neglect of the authorities to repair said board walk, the issue is purely one of disputed facts and therefore properly left to the jury.</p>

Judges: Beaver, Orladx, Orlady, Reeder, Rice, Smith, Wickham, Willard
