A decision of the supreme court on the 18th, in the case of Lydia E. Evans against the town of Gosport, shows the responsibility of towns and cities that neglect to nave their sidewalks repaired. The decision set3 forth : ''Action for personal injuries from a defective sidewalk. If a defect in a pavement presents an obstruction or is of such a character that the municipal corporation is bound to take notice of it, so that it is guilty of negligence in not repairing it, the plaintiff is nevertheless guilty of contributory negligence in venturing upon it, no matter how much care she used when she went upon it. Her duty was to avoid the obstruction, or go upon it at her own risk."
