District Court, W.D. Pennsylvania December 29, 1950, Civ. No. 6648 (Balena v. United States)

McVICAR, Chief Judge.

The doctrine of res ipsa loquitur does not apply to the instant case, there being no inference of negligence arising from the mere slipping on the Post Office floor. It, therefore, was incumbent upon the plaintiff to establish the negligence of the defendant. Bowser v. J. C. Penny Co., 354 Pa. 1, 40 A.2d 324.
