Little, J.
Ifc was, on the trial of an action against a municipal corporation for personal injuries alleged to have been occasioned by a defect in a street, erroneous to direct a verdict for the defendant, when there was evidence from which the jury might have found that it was negligent, and that at the time of receiving the injuries the plaintiff was exercising ordinary care and diligence.
