88 Miss. 431; 40 So. 325

Brister v. Illinois Central Railroad

Opinion of the Court

Whitrteld, C. J.,

delivered tbe opinion of tbe court.

As we remarked when this case was here before (84 Miss., 33; 36 South. Rep., 142), it is one in which a verdict for either .side would not be disturbed if there were no errors of law. Tbe giving of tbe sixth instruction for tbe defendant was manifest error.

Reversed and remanded.
