Davis, C. J.

(dissenting). — I think the plaintiff made a case sufficient to go to the jury on the question of implied, if not express, acceptance of the dedication of the street under such circumstances as to impute liability for failure to keep it in proper repair at the place where plaintiff was injured by falling on a defective portion of it.

On Rehearing.

Per Curiam.

On consideration of this case after rehearing granted, the Court is of the opinion that the amended declaration stated a cause of action and that under the issues joined the plaintiff presented sufficient evidence tending to sustain the issues in her behalf to warrant a denial of the motion for a directed verdict in favor of the defendant.

The judgment should, therefore, be reversed and the cause remanded for a new trial. It is so ordered.

Reversed and remanded.

Davis, C. J., and Whitfield, Terrell and Buford, J. J., concur.

Brown, J., dissents.
