NUISANCE RULING
 BENEFITS WOMAN
Verdict of $5,S39 Given ' Plaintiff Against City
 of Waterbury

Issues were found in favor of Mildred D'Angelo es St. Jean street upon tho theory of nuisance and not upon the theory of tho failure on the part of the City of Waterbury to comply with Its statutory duty in the maintenance of highways, stated Judge Frank P. McEvoy in . memorandum of decision handed down in superior court this morn. ing in which judgment was entered for the plaintiff to recover sS,eSoOi of the defendant.
 The judgment includes medical bills of si50, hospital expenses os s2400i and loss Of earning from August i6, io37, to March %, 1888, g weeks at Si4 Q week or S4<e, and 5000 for pain and suffering and personal injury.
 Miss D'Angelo was injured August IS, i037 while e passenger on . mos torcycle operated by it's owner near St. Jean and Charles streets where the accident was caused by 6 gully, six to i4 inches deep.
 The defendant alleged that both streets were not public highways within the limits of the city and neither had been properly or legal- ly laid out or accepted by the city as provided by its charter.
 Judge McEvoy ruled that the city roads at the intersection where the accident happened were not then public highways duly laid out in the manner required with the manda- tory provisions of the charter and found that the city is not chargeable by reason of It's failure to comply with the statutory duty which would normally flow from the exist ence of the highways duly dedicated as such in accordance with the ye. quisite state provisions.
 The complaint. stated Judge Me- Evoy, alleged that the city built the gully and lined 1t with large stones and that the existence of the gully and of the placed stones made trav. el dangerous to persons using 1t and this created a nuisance and that the plaintiff was injured by reason of the nuisance.
 Judge McEvoy added that it is un- disputed that the defendant did not originate and create the existence of the condition.
