No. 6-71.

285 A.2d 732 (1971)

Mildred BECK v. Francis DUTRA and Mildred Dutra.

Supreme Court of Vermont, Caledonia.

December 7, 1971.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Downs, Rachlin & Martin, St. Johnsbury, for plaintiff.

W. Edson McKee, Montpelier, for defendants.

Before HOLDEN, C. J., and SHANGRAW, BARNEY, SMITH and KEYSER, JJ.


KEYSER, Justice.

The defendants appealed from the verdict and judgment in favor of the plaintiff on two grounds, (1) failure of the court to grant their motion for a directed verdict and (2) failure of the court to charge assumption of the risk.

Defendants' motion for a directed verdict cannot properly be granted if there is evidence fairly and reasonably tending to support the verdict. State v. Shuttle, 126 Vt. 379, 383, 230 A.2d 794
