Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court October 18, 1888 (Adams v. Inhabitants of Chicopee)

Knowi/eoh, J.

At the trial of this case, there was evidence tending to show that the concrete walk upon which the plaintiff fell was of such construction, or was in such condition, as to retain water in a hollow or basin upon it, and so, in freezing weather, to cause the formation of smooth, slippery ice.
