The CRY Nor LIABLE.-The case of J, +,
Tranter against the city of Sacramento for
$4,000 damages for personal injuries by
reason of defective sidewalk, which had
previously been argued upon demurrer by w.
A. Anderson for the city, and Grove L
johnson ana L. S. Taylor for the plaintiff,
has just been decided by Judge benson in the
Superior Court, sustaining City Attorney
Anderson's demurrer. 1t was shown by
authorities cited by the City Attorney, that
at common law municipality is not liable
Tor detective ways, and that a liability only
occurs where the statute expressly imposes it.
There IS no statute making the city of Sacra-
mento liable; that the city is only the agent
OF the proper ~ owners and has no other or
further power than that conferred by the
charter. 1t seems that the Court took these
views of the case and sustained defendants
demurrer. Counsellor plaintiff say they will
appeal to the Supreme Court.
