Municipal Liability Occasionally some person is injured through a defective sidewalk or street. It is generally thought under such circumstances that the corporation is liable for damages. Such is not the case. Neglect must be proved on the part of the corporation. Persons who know of defective sidewalks are re- quired to notify 'the council of such defect, and if after such notice injury results through neglect on the part of the corporation, then the corporation is liable for damages. The corporation is not liable from injuries 'arising from defective side- walks. 'The corporation is hable for injuries arising from neglect. There is no neglect on the part of corporation until corporation has received notice of the defect. : EXCURSION Points on the Temiskaming & Northern Ontario Rail- way, Haileybury and North in Northern Ontario.
