Head Matter:
LOUIS GENCOLA vs. LENA LEBOV
Superior Court New Haven County
File #49583
Present: Hon. ARTHUR F. ELLS, Judge.
R. T. Mokrsynski, Attorney for the Plaintiff.
D. L. O’Neill, Attorney for the Defendant.
MEMORANDUM FILED MAY 20, 1936.

Opinion:
ELLS, J.
It is not now necessary to pass upon the applica' bility or constitutionality of the recent Special Act placing upon the adjoining property owner "the duty of keeping side' walks in said city free from snow and ice".
The complaint alleges "a defective, unsafe, dangerous and slippery condition of said sidewalk . due to the negli' gence and carelessness of the said defendant". The testimony disclosed that the' plaintiff was not in the exercise of ordinary care under the existing circumstances; and it does not estab' lish any negligence on the part of the defendant. Incidentally, and aside from the question of liability, it discloses trivial and doubtful injuries.
Judgment is for the defendant.
