Gen. No. 42,208. (Abstract of Decision.)
Opinion filed January 18, 1944
LANDLORD AND TENANT, § 295 — sufficiency of evidence in tenant's personal injury action against landlord. In action against landlord, who maintained and controlled wooden stairway, leading to basement of building containing store room which defendant had leased to plaintiff, for common use of several tenants of building, and who was sued by plaintiff for personal injuries sustained by him, in using stairway for business purposes, as result of stairway's disrepair, held that there was sufficient evidence in record that fairly tended to prove plaintiff's complaint and, therefore, that court did not err in denying defendant's motions for directed verdict and judgment notwithstanding verdict.
