Syllabus

<p>Negligence — Beal property — Vaults—Children — Death — Non-suit.</p> <p>1. A property owner is not bound to maintain his property so that a person wandering thereon, whether adult or child, may not sustain injury.</p> <p>2. In an action to recover damages for the death of plaintiff’s minor child, who while straying upon a lot owned by defendant fell into a vault which contained water and was drowned, a non-suit was properly entered where it appeared that the vault was located at the rear of the'lot at a point not ordinarily frequented by children, and there was no evidence of anything upon the lot to attract children, or to charge defendant with the knowledge that the vault was filled with water.</p>
