No barbed wire shall be installed along any sidewalk unless it is at least six and one-half feet above the ground. Any barbed wire in use in conformity with section 7156 of the general statutes, revision of 1949, on October 1, 1957, may be continued in use.
(1949 Rev., S. 7156; 1957, P.A. 157, S. 1.)
When violation of a statute concerning barbed wire is not set up in complaint in action for damages for personal injuries, it is error to read statute to the jury to show that legislature thought barbed wire a dangerous thing. 101 C. 549.
