Syllabus

<p>Negligence — Boroughs—Streets—Ice—N otice — N onsuit.</p> <p>In an action of trespass to recover damages for personal injuries sustained by plaintiff in consequence of a fall on ice which had formed on the sidewalk of a borough street, it appeared that the ice had been formed by the freezing of slush the night before the accident, only a few hours before plaintiff fell. There was no evidence that the borough authorities had actual notice of the condition of the sidewalk. The lower court entered a judgment of nonsuit. Held, no error.</p>
