Opinion of the Court

Little, J.

1. It is apparent from the evidence that the proximate cause of the injury which the plaintiff received was the defective condition of the street, and that the plaintiff in error was negligent in not repairing or protecting the same.

2. There was no error in the rulings, charge, or failure to charge, which requires a reversal of the judgment overruling the motion for a new trial.

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concurring.
