Juanita Baynes et al., Respondents, v. New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company, Appellant, et al., Defendants.

Opinion:
It is our opinion that this record presented a question of fact upon the control of the area and the duty to maintain it, which should have been submitted to the jury and not determined by the court; and that it was error to charge the jury that they should not consider the lease and to charge that it was appellant's duty to maintain the area in a reasonably safe condition.
