(After stating the foregoing facts.) The court charged as follows: “The plaintiff is required to satisfy you that she was injured and damaged by the defendant; and when she does this, then the presumption of negligence arises against the defendant, and it is incumbent upon it to show that it was not to blame. If the defendant fails to do this, it having been made to appear that an injury was inflicted by it, its agents or employees, she should recover such damages as in your judgment would be reasonable and just. This is left to your enlightened consciences.” This charge is excepted to for the reason that it precludes the defendant from rebutting the presumption of negligence against it except by showing that it was not to blame, when such presumption may be rebutted by showing that the plaintiff was not injured, or that if injured the injury was due to her own negligence, or that by the exercise of ordinary care she could have avoided the injury. The above excerpt from the charge, standing alone, might be subject to criticism; but the charge as a whole opens up to the defendant all the lines of defense from which it is apparently precluded by considering the above portion of the charge alone. It is also contended that the above charge left the determination of the issues between the parties to the enlightened consciences of the jurors, instead of the evidence. We do not think this a just criticism. The amount of damages, if the plaintiff was found to be entitled to damages, was left to the enlightened consciences of the jurors. The damages *485•claimed consisted only of pain and suffering. The charge was -therefore in this respect correct.

2. Error is assigned upon the following charge: “You understand the allegations, gentlemen, and if you find that the defendant company is liable in damages, you considering and finding that there lias been such in this case that the plaintiff has suffered great pain and anguish, as alleged in the pleadings and the contentions of the plaintiff, then she would be entitled to recover such an amount which is left to the enlightened consciences of the jury as to the amount.” This is excepted to upon the ground that it left to the consciences of the'jurors the right to find a.verdict for the plaintiff if the plaintiff had suffered great pain and anguish. The portion •of the charge quoted is not clear. Very probably its lucidity and grammar have suffered in the transcribing and copying incident to' making up the record. But we think the intention of the court, and the meaning conveyed to the jury, was that the amount of •damages, if damages were recoverable, was left to the enlightened •consciences of the jurors. There was evidence warranting the verdict, and we shall not control the discretion of the trial judge in refusing a new trial.

Judgment affirmed.
