LUCY CASE DECISION BY CHIEF JUSTICE

Chief Justice Samuel o. Prentice of Hartford wrote the supreme court de- cision in the case of Mrs. Mary Lucy against the City of Norwich in which he finds no error in the verdict of the jury in the superior court that gave Mrs. Lucy damages of .$2, 800 for the broken hip she sustained in fall on the icy sidewalk in front of PAS Main street on the morning of Dec. 20, l9lo All of the associate justices concur red in the decison Before the case came to trial Mrs. Lucy died, but the case was continued for her estate.
 In his decision Justice Case says ir part as follows:
 The reasons of appeal considerable in number. may be condensed and stated under four heads, to wit: CD That the court erred in holding | the defendant liable for negligence ir the creation or maintenance of struc- tural defects in and about the side walk where Mrs. Lucy fell wheareas | the complaint charges no such negli- gence.
 @ That it erred in finding that Mrs. Lucy was not guilty of contrib utory negligence. | (3) That it erred in holding the de- 1 fendant to a stricter rule of responsi 1 Diiily IOl COHuItlOilS CIcdleu DS SHON and ice upon sidewalks than does tn, law, and
 | (4) That it erred in finding certain subordinate facts and failing to fint others as requested.
 | It is true that the court below, in it memorandum of decision, took occa sion to observe among other thing that the city was and had been negli gent in creating or permitting cer tain structural conditions in an, about the walk conducive to the form ation of bodies of ice upon it at tn point of injury an dthat in the find ing of facts incidental reference i made to the same subject. But that i not the negligence upon which tn Judgment was predicated. The ulti mate conclusion of the court furnish ing the basis of it's judgment con tained in the concluding paragraph c its finding makes this clear. Ina paragraph reads as follows The ia

WILL START TWO PIG
 CLUBS IN THIS COUNTY

The farm bureau reports that plans nave been made to start two pig clubs in the county this year, one of which IS to be among the boys in Norwich ToWn. The purpose of these clubs is primarily to train the boys in the best methods of growing pigs and meetings are to be held every month, at which the boys can get together and compare notes on the results of the previous month, and also enjoy the benefit of a talk from the college extension special lSt Tn this line of work Definite pro- grams will be carried out which will be both educational and entertaining and should make the pig club work of real, permanent value. The loca ton of the second of these two clubs has not yet been definitely decided, so that any community in the county where there are at least six boys interested you are interested. get in touch with County Agent Walter s. Marsland as soon as possible.
 The pig growing project will also be carried on again this year and is open i to any boy or girl who wants to raise a pig and will kep a record of the cost of feed and growth of the pig for a period of four or five months begin nins not later than July 1.

the defendant up to too high a stand ard of duty is not well founded. It's appeal to the familiar statement in Consdon vs. Norwich. 37 Conn.,, 414, 419, that in our vigorous climate the duty of cities and towns in respect to snow and ice is and must be very limited does not suffice to permit it to escape liability in the present case The finding of the court as to the con dltlon of the walk for several days prior to the accident and the absence of all efforts during that time to render it safe for public travel save for the partial removal of fallen snow cannot reasonably be said to fill out the full measure of city's duty in the care of sidewalk, located, as this , was. at it's business center and in the ordinary course traversed by a large number of persons, Certainly the court in so holding did not disregard any rule of municipal duty which has received the sanction of this court | The defendants contention that the court was in error in holding that Mrs Lucy did not by her own negligence
 contribute to her injuries finds no l support under the finding save upon
 the broad proposition that no one who
 is aware of the icy condition of a i sidewalk can. in the exercise of or
 dinary prudence, proceed over it how
 ever great the care exercises in do- ing so. There is no such drastiye
 rule of law. Mrs. Lucy had gone from
 her home to do family shopping down
 town. In so doing she had observed the icy condition of the walk Her
 errands done, she wished to return.
 As she approached the place where 1 she fell she saw ice which covered the vkole width of the walk The street at this point was likewise filled with ice and sfush. She kept to the walk, proceeding with the greatest care, and while trying to avoid what appeared to be particularly danger I ous spot she stepped upon another 1 covered with snow. and slipped and I fell. No element of negligence here
 apears or is elsewhere in the case in-
 dicated unless it were negligent fol
 her not to stay at home and foregc
 her shopping, or else to seek some
 safe haven of refuge downtown aft
 CT she had arrived there
 The facts claimed to have beer
 found without evidence or not fount
 though proven concern matters whicl possess no importance as related t, the questions herein considered say only those contained in the paragraph of the finding which recite Mrs. Lu cys conduct and care in passing ove the spot where she fell. That recita conforms in all essential particular
 to the testimony upon that point give at the trial.
