Seaboard Air-Line Railway v. Canup

Opinion of the Court

Powell, J.

Though the evidence for the railway company, tending to overcome the presumption of negligence, was very strong, and the evidence to the contrary was very slight, still an inference of negligence by the jury was not wholly unwarranted. The jury having found for the plaintiff, and the judge of the superior, court, on review of the testimony on certiorari, having given his sanction to the verdict, this court will not disturb it. .Judgment affirmed.
