Opinion by
Head, J.,The action was trespass to recover damages for personal injuries resulting from a fall suffered by the plaintiff on a street of the defendant borough. As there was no eye witness-to the accident, the plaintiff’s case rested largely on her own testimony. She was a woman advanced in years, and while her testimony leaves much to be desired, nevertheless we cannot say it does not furnish a warrant for a finding that her case had been made out. The jury could find from her declarations on the witness stand there existed in the highway a depression that would gather water; that the water so gathered had been frozen and that the icy surface was temporarily concealed from her view by a slight fall of snow. There was testimony to justify the inference that the depression had been caused by the laying of a sewer some months before the time of the accident and it had therefore existed for a period of time long enough to affect the defendant borough with constructive notice of its existence.
Without attempting to review the evidence, we deem it sufficient to say a careful reading of it has convinced us the court below could not have, with propriety, declared, as matter of law, the plaintiff had been guilty of contributory negligence. It consequently became the duty *396of the tidal judge to submit that question to the jury and this was done in a charge of which no just complaint can be made. The assignments of error are overruled.
Judgment affirmed.
