Judge SpruanCe read the decision O,i
the court in the Ewing case against
the city OF Wilmington, in which case
Mrs. Ewing obtained a verdict i'm the
lower court for $4,000 damages against
the city for injuries received by CATCH
ing her foot In a dlslOdged gutter
plate, rendering her a cripple for life.
The city appealed from the verdict be-
cause Of a statutory provision which
makes owners of property adjacent to
sidewalks responsible for their repair
unless such such disarrangement of the
walk is CccasiOned by the city. The
Supreme Courts decision reverses the
indimg Cf THE NEW Castle county court
and relieves the city cf it's Judgment.
Judge Penndwill dissented, declaring
that the owner could not be held hlab,e

the duty az Keeping sidewalks i'm renal
rested primarily upon the city govern

the owner whether he shall keen hds

where there is no duty imposed: and
there can be no negligence where There

The court hsid, however, that the la
bHity of municipal corporations for
sidewalks is only an implied liability
and that the statute upon which the
|appeai was taken relieved THE City from

defective footways. except ahoss dinect-
