JUDGMENT IS GIVEN
IN DAMAGE SUIT
Mr. Justice Roach dismissed the
action of Albert F. Sage vs. Town
of Seaforth in a judgment handed
down at Osgoode Hall, Toronto, this
week. Sage, the plaintiff. claimed
damages on account of injuries which
he received when he fel] on a side -
emits in the Town of Seaforth on July
12, 1938. Negligence was alleged on
the part of the defendant, the Town
of Seaforth, in allowing the sidewalk
to remain in a dangerous state of
non -repair for pedestrians. W. E.
Goodwin, K.C., for plaintiff; E. A.
Richardson and B. O'Brien for de•
fendan1.
The judgment: "If the plaintiff had
kept a proper lookout, in my opinlon,
notwithstanding the minor inequal-
ities in the levels of the sidewalk, he
wonld not have suffered bis unfort-
unate mishap. I assess his total dam-
ages at 91,500. For the reasons stat-
ed, the action is dismissed with costs
if asked."
