Description
On February 16, 1943, plaintiff and respondent Mrs. Lay, accompanied by her husband and a four-year-old boy, left their residence in Bakersfield at about 2:30 p.m. to go to a lunch room about five blocks away. They proceeded on the sidewalk, which was about three feet wide and ran immediately in front of the plant of the defendant company. As they were about to pass those premises, about fifteen feet ahead of them they saw a small pool of oil on the sidewalk, which had been allowed to escape from the premises of the defendant company. In this respect Mr. Lay testified that just ahead of them he noticed "a considerable amount of shavings" and "there was some oil, just how much, I didn't pay any attention"; that as to whether the oil he then noticed was at the "same place that the oil was that your wife fell in," he answered: "I am not sure that it was." On this subject Mrs. Lay testified that on the way over to the restaurant while passing defendants' premises, she noticed some oil on the sidewalk. She did not testify that she observed the exact character of the oil spot or the extent of its coverage at that time. Defendant Guerin testified that at the spot where plaintiff fell he found "loose oil," "dirt" and a few "steel shavings."
