Michigan Supreme Court June 3, 1885 (McKellar v. City of Detroit)

Campbell, J.

On the 10th of January, 1884, plaintiff, in the evening, slipped on a cross-walk at the corner of Prospect and Division streets, in Detroit, and fell and broke her arm. The occasion of her fall was claimed to be a small ridge of ice formed by the trampling of snow, and melting and freezing, until the surface was uneven. She recovered below, and the city brings error.
