Opinion of the Court

Mr. Justice Smith

delivered the opinion of the court.

4. Street railways, § 152*—verdict not disturbed unless against weight of evidence. Negligence and contributory negligence in a street railway accident case are primarily questions of fact, and the verdict of the jury thereon will not be disturbed unless clearly and manifestly against the weight of the evidence.
