The case was brought by Jeanine L.

Smith of Brattleboro, who rented an apartment from William and Emily Speno, who sold it to Harry and Doris L. Monmaney just prior to an accident when Mrs. Smith fell on the stairs. The renters had discussed the need for handrails with the Spenos, but the project was never completed, because Speno failed to provide the materials. Mrs.

Smith testified she slipped on the icy stairs, and slid to the bottom because of the lack of a railing. The trial court granted the Speno motion for a directed verdict, and a jury returned a verdict in favor of the Monmaneys. The high court reversed the Speno decision, noting that the structural defect in the common entrance way was aggravated by the accumulation of ice and snow, and that Speno. after the accident. placed ashes and salt on the stairs.

Ordinarily, held the high court, transfer of title to property protects the seller from liability, but in this case, there was evidence to show the Spenos continued in possession and control of the property. consistent with established the facts presented were sufficient to charge defendants Speno with foresight of harm to the plaintiff under conditions of ice and snow if reasonable safeguards were not provided." The High Court let the Monmaney decision stand. Two justices. P. L.

Shangraw, and F. Ray Keyser, agreed with the Monmaney decision. but argued the Speno judgment should not be reversed. "The icy conditions were not created by the Spenos. and if the practical aspects of such a case are to be considered, it may be a real dilemma in that a vendor of property would be uncertain when his liabilities in connection with ownership of property In other action.

The court also: -Affirmed the property line set by the Addison County Court of Chancery in the case brought by Mildred M. Rambeau of Ferrisburg, against Marvin Barrows. -Remanded for further proceedings and denied a motion of Paul Roberts of Riverdale, to dismiss a complaint brought by A.

Robert Russell Jr. of Burlington against George Roberts Albany, N.Y., Paul Roberts and Clifford and Carrie Playful of Burlington. The plaintiff brought a tort action against the senior Roberts because of an alleged assault in March 1967. Russell next brought a bill in chancery claiming the assignment of a mortgage and note from the senior Roberts to Paul Roberts was made to prevent the plaintiff from recovering any judgment he might obtain in the assault action. -Reversed a Windsor County Chancery Court decision which found for the defendant, Alexander L.

The department's Economic Development Division, working with state firms to increase imports received, relayed the warning from the U.S. Department of Commerce that operations have ordered goods from unidentified New England firms with orders falsely guaranteeing payment. 'Banks and commercial houses listed are for the most part nonexistent or are bogus drafts," a spokesman said. "The fraudulent operators behind these orders are not representatives of the Nigerian business community and have successfully obtained goods from numerous New England firms without actually paying for Economic Development Director Gene Clack said Tuesday. The information didn't specify Suit for Malpractice Filed Against Doctor A $25,000 malpractice suit has been filed in Chittenden County Court by Winifred Baillargeon of Burlington against Dr.

C. Irving Meeker of Shelburne. The Burlington woman charges that from January through May 1966 she was under the care of the doctor whom she states failed to heed her complaints of physical discomfort and pain. She claims he failed to adequately diagnose her condition, failed to prescribe proper medicine and treatment, failed to observe, attend. supervise and oversee her medical and hospital care and treatment, as a result of which she underwent surgery which would not have been necessary but for these failures.

Parochial, Public School Boards To Meet Leaders of Burlington public and parochial schools have agreed to meet regularly to discuss mutual problems. At the request of Burlington School Board Chairman Richard Wadhams, a committee representing the parochial schools is to be appointed to hold sessions with the School Board. The two groups met recently at the Champlain School. Erald Medlar was present as chairman of Burlington's parochial school coordinating council. All but one member of the school board, and 30 pastors, religious and the Securities Exchange Commission in the expectation it would end litigation which is holding up financing of the Maine and Vermont atomic plants.

Some municipals and co-ops are suing for a right to share in this power output. Under the amended application, Dunham said, the 12 companies which own the Maine Yankee and Vermont Yankee companies on pro rata shares will assure availability of power to non-owners in "fair and reasonable" proportions. School Board representatives attended. The Rev. Raymond Adams, chairman of the Burlington Catholic Diocesan School Board of Vermont, was among those at the meeting.

The groups discussed such matters as a plan for central purchasing of supplies by combined school systems, expansion of the shared time program for religious education and growing needs for space in the public schools. To date, Burlington, which has the largest parochial school system in Vermont, has escaped closedowns of Catholic elementary and secondary schools. Special School Tax Approved in Rutland RUTLAND Rutland taxpayers Tuesday approved a 68- cent tax increase for school purposes in addition to the $3.80 ceiling allowed by the city charter. The issue passed by a scant 35 votes. The final count was 1,532 yes and 1.497 no, according to City Clerk Jack Barrett.

Voters also lent their approval to the convening of a constitutional convention this fall, the tally being 1,537 yes and 1.371 no. The citizens turned down by a four to one majority the exemption of four fraternal clubs from property tax exemption. They were the Eagles, the Elks, the Italian Aid Society and the Odd Fellows. Had the school tax increase been rejected it would have been necessary to drop interscholastic athletics, hot lunch programs, kindergartens and extra teachers. which New England firms were victimized, but said no state companies have been involved.

He said the false payment guarantees have emanated from Nigeria and not the rebeling state of Biafra. Armies of the two areas have been fighting, with resulting mass starvation In Biafra, for about two years. The Development Department also reports requests for samples or purchases from a Nigerian firm should be channeled to its offices for a check into the validity of the African company. Development Department industrial consultant Francis Files said the fraud has "saturated the Massachusetts area" and is heading north. He said all types of products are being purchased falsely.

including several thousands of dollars worth of balloons from an unnamed east coast firm. Files said the American embassy in Nigeria has stocked directories for purchasers using the fraud technique.
