Luther Coburn v. Town of Troy.
This was an action on the case, for
damages received while travelling on a
highway in Troy. The plaintiff on
October 5, 1866, while carrying load
of wood to North Troy, was thrown
from his wagon breaking his leg and
causing other injuries. The plaintiff
claimed that on account of wet hole
in the road, one OF the forward wheels
of his wagon suddenly dropped down,
throwing him from the wagon, and
that the road was insufficient, and out
of repair. The defendant claimed
that the road was simply muddy as all
roads were at that season of the year,
and that the plaintiff had too large a
load for his wagon. 1t seemed that
he was carrying from one and a half
to two cords of eighteen inch wood
and had loose boards above the sides
of the wagon sustained by stakes.-
| The defendant claimed that the load
was not well sustained by these boards
and stakes and one giving awaycaus-
ed the injury to the plaintiff. There
was large amount of conflicting tes-
timony as to whether the road was
insufficient, consuming nearly three
days in examining witnesses.
