On the evening of the fourteenth day of October, 1892, the plaintiff, while attempting to pass over a plank street crossing, in the defendant city, stepped between the boards there laid, and received the injuries of which she complains. She alleged that the crossing on which she was injured was at the corner of Cass and Locust streets, being the southeast corner of block 11, in Morrison and Huncombe’s
II. At the conclusion of plaintiff’s evidence, defendant moved to strike out the same, because it was not addressed to the place named in the preliminary notice. This motion was overruled, and defendant thereupon filed a motion for a continuance, based upon the ground that it had not investigated any place other than that named in the notice. This last motion was overruled, and exception taken, and the ruling is now assigned as error. We think it was correct. What is said in the first paragraph of this opinion is a sufficient answer to the argument of counsel on this branch of the case.
IY. Other instructions with reference to defendant’s negligence were asked and refused. In so far as they embodied correct rules of law, they were given, in substance, by the court in its charge to the jury.
Some other points are discussed by counsel, but what we have said disposes of every question of any moment in the case. We have not considered the affidavits filed by the respective parties, for the reason that, should we find appellant’s contention true, it would not change the result. There is no prejudicial error in the record, and the judgment is affirmed.
