BUILDINGS AND BUILDING RESTRICTIONS, § 18 — elevator, negligence. Elevator passenger was properly awarded judgment for injuries sustained when elevator did not stop when brake was applied and elevator struck concrete base with great force, as the fact of the falling of the elevator was evidence tending to show want of care in its management, or that same was out of repair or faultily constructed, and there was evidence to support finding that a pre-existing umbilical hernia from which plaintiff was suffering was aggravated by the injury.
