The plaintiffs, Thomas Gore, Wanda Copeland and their minor child, Kendall Copeland,1 appeal from the judgment of the trial court, rendered after a jury verdict, in favor of the defendants, People’s Savings Bank (People’s) and M.S.B. Real Estate Corporation (M.S.B.), on two counts of negligence. The plaintiffs’ amended complaint contained six counts. The first count, as to People’s, and the third count, as to M.S.B., alleged negligence. The second count, as to People’s, and the fourth count, as to M.S.B., alleged that the defendants had breached the lease agreement. The fifth count, as to People’s, and the sixth count, as to M.S.B., alleged strict liability. The trial court granted the defendants’ motions for directed verdict as to the fifth and sixth counts, from which the plaintiffs took an exception and filed a motion to set aside the verdict. The trial court denied the motion to set aside.2
