Lautenbacher v. Philadelphia
66 A. 549, 217 Pa. 318, 1907 Pa. LEXIS 707
Opinion
By carrying the couch in the way she did, the appellant voluntarily impeded her view and disabled herself from the proper performance of her duty to look where she was going. She might as well have put a bandage over her eyes and then charged the city with the results of her failure to see the obstruction over which she fell.
Judgment affirmed.
