In the Court of Queen’s Bench the verdict was Set aside, the Court deciding that there was no evidence of negligence on the part of the county and that the verdict was contrary to law. The plaintiff then appealed to the Court of Appenl, when the judgment of the lower court was set aside, and the original verdict re stored, thereby nllirlning that it is the province ofa jury to determine whether ditches are a neceSSary adjunct. of a highway, whether they are propell constructed, and whether they are rightly locatedâ€"regard being had to the public safety.
