Hartford v. Boston Elevated Ry. Co‪.‬

DONAHUE, J. The plaintiff having boarded, as a passenger, a one-man car of the defendant fell and was injured while walking up the aisle to a seat. The case comes before us on the defendant's exceptions to the denial of its motion for a directed verdict and to the failure of the Judge to give five requested rulings. There was evidence offered by the plaintiff tending to show that the accident happened on a cold, dry, windy winter's day; that out of doors there was snow on the ground and in places ice; that the plaintiff soon after boarding the car while making her way to a seat slipped on a formation of ice about six or seven inches square in the center of the aisle and about half way down the car.
