This action of trespass on the case for negligence was brought by a tenant against his landlords to recover damages for personal injuries sustained from a fall allegedly caused by a defective passageway in the yard outside the demised premises. It was tried before a justice of the superior court, a jury trial being waived, and resulted in a decision for the defendants. The case is here on the plaintiff's exception to that decision.
