Municipal corporatlons, § 1062*—when pedestrian not negligent in failing to see obstruction on sidewalk. Evidence held sufficient to sustain finding of jury that plaintiff was not guilty of contributory negligence in failing to see an obstruction on the sidewalk, over which she fell and was injured. 4.

Objection that verdict is excessive is waived when not included in motion for a new trial or motion in arrest of judgment.
