Godfrey v. . Elizabeth City
91 S.E. 357; 173 N.C. 696; 1917 N.C. LEXIS 376
(South Eastern Reporter)
Godfrey v. . Elizabeth City
Opinion of the Court
We have carefully examined the evidence and are of opinion that giving it the most favorable construction for the plaintiff, there is no evidence of negligence unless we hold that maintaining a drainway 15 or Í8 inches deep, in an unfrequented section of the city, which was then being developed, without further description as to how it is constructed, which runs across the street and is covered by a bridge a greater part of the distance, itself establishes negligence, which we cannot do.
Affirmed.
