Abstract
While the plaintiff was travelling along the public highway, he was injured by the falling of a decayed tree which stood within twenty feet of the highway upon the adjoining land of the defendant. On sustaining a demurrer to the declaration, the court held that there was no duty upon the rural abutter to inspect the tree. Chambers v. Whelen, et al. (C. C. A. 4th, 1930) 44 F.(2d) 340.
