Lavery v. Manchester
Lavery v. Manchester
58 N.H. 444
Lavery v. Manchester
Opinion of the Court
If the plaintiff tripped upon a stone, or a hole in the sidewalk, that rendered the same insufficient, and in want of repair, and was inadvertently thrown upon the nuisance through no want of ordinary care on his part, he may recover such damages as were the direct and natural result of such defective sidewalk, but not for any increase of damages occasioned by the nuisance which he maintained.
New trial granted.
