Ogden v. Mcchesney

Plaintiff, Harry William Ogden, brought this action against the defendant, Vernon v. McChesney, for injuries sustained when the plaintiff slipped on ice, which had accumulated near a rusted drain spout in front of a building owned by Mr. McChesney. At the conclusion of Plaintiffs evidence, the trial court directed a verdict in favor of McChesney, on the grounds that he, as landlord, had no responsibility for the type of upkeep which would have prevented the injuries in question. This appeal by plaintiff followed. We affirm the trial court.
