Description

DONAHUE, Justice. There was evidence warranting the finding that the female plaintiff, a prospective customer, while going down a stairway in the defendant's store, slipped on a black substance on the stairs, fell and was injured. She testified that a man who assisted her after the fall took from the heel of her shoe 'half an orange' which she described as 'black' 'dirty' and 'gritty' and as having on it 'heel marks, like a spike heel.' She wore shoes with broad heels. The record contains no reference to any other testimony than that given by her which is above summarized. Actions brought by her and by her husband, who sought consequential damages, were tried together in the superior court before a jury. By direction of the trial Judge verdicts were returned for the defendant.
