Alabama Great Southern Railroad v. Wilkinson

Opinion of the Court

Blandford, J.

In a suit for damages resulting from the negligent conduct of the agents of a railroad in failing to stop its cars at the depot of a place where, by a passenger’s ticket, she had a light to depart from the train, but stopping at another point arid causing the passenger to alight in the rain, whereby she was injured, a verdict for $100 being reasonable, and the court below having refused a new trial, this court will not interfere.

Judgment affirmed.
