Decision Date23 February 1892
PartiesO'CONNOR v. CURTIS.

Crawford & Crawford, for appellant. Robertson & Gray, for appellee.

MARR, J.

This action was instituted by the appellee, Curtis, to recover damages of the appellant on account of injuries received by the plaintiff's wife in consequence of "the fire-wall and cornice" of a building belonging to the defendant, and overhanging a public street and thoroughfare in the city of Dallas, falling down upon her while she was walking along the street. Negligence was imputed to the appellant as the cause of the injury, and the plaintiff obtained a verdict and judgment for $1,000. The defendant has appealed, and assigned numerous errors in the proceedings below, but the same questions were decided adversely to him by the supreme court in the companion case of O'Connor v. Andrews, reported in 16 S. W. Rep. 628. The opinion then delivered is decisive of the present appeal, and we think, therefore, that the judgment should be affirmed.

PER CURIAM.

Affirmed, as per opinion of commission of appeals.
