Snow and Ice. Nuisance.
In an action for personal injuries caused by slipping on ice on a public sidewalk adjoining a building owned and controlled by the defendant, a verdict for the plaintiff is warranted if there is testimony by the plaintiff that he fell on ice on a sidewalk where there "was water dripping from the roof — the house. It dropped on to the point practically where he fell. . . . It dripped from the eaves of the house."
BY THE COURT.
The plaintiff testified that he fell on ice on a sidewalk where there "was water dripping from the roof — the house. It dropped on to the point practically where he fell. . . . It dripped from the eaves of the house." Manifestly upon this testimony the defendant as owner of the house might be found liable. The case is covered completely by Field v. Gowdy, 199 Mass. 568, Drake v. Taylor, 203 Mass. 528, Cochran v. Barton, 233 Mass. 147.
Exceptions overruled.
