Description

The plaintiff sued the defendant for damages for personal injuries. He claimed that they resulted from her negligence in the maintenance of a building owned by her. She pleaded what amounted to a general denial and a special defense of contributory negligence. There was a general verdict for the defendant. The plaintiff's appeal is concerned with the charge and with the submission of an interrogatory. The plaintiff offered evidence to prove and claimed that he had proved the following facts: The defendant's building was occupied by two stores with tenements over them. One of the stores was a tailor shop with a toilet appurtenant. The only access to it was through a common passageway and by a turn to the right into a smaller hallway. There were doors at opposite sides of this hallway. One led to the toilet, the other to the cellar. Both swung into the hall. On the afternoon of January 12, 1948, the plaintiff entered the tailor shop to get a pair of trousers. With the consent of the tailor he went into the back hall to go into the toilet. There was a light fixture in the toilet but the light was not lighted at the time in question. The hallway was dark. He entered the cellar doorway, fell to the bottom of the stairs and was injured. There were no barriers to the cellar door and the two doors could easily be mistaken one for the other.
