Haff v. Metropolitan St. Railway Co.

There is evidence that the wagon was pulled upon the track 50 feet ahead of the car, and had proceeded along in front of the car 7Ó feet, before it was struck. This is sufficient, under the other circumstances, to sustain a finding of negligence on defendant’s part and freedom from contributory negligence on plaintiff’s part. The evidence warrants a finding of the loss of $81.83 through expense incurre* in repairing, and $40 through depreciation in the value of the wagon,_ and of no other loss. The reasonable cost of hiring another wagon was not shown. As the damages were found to be $160, the judgment is modified by reducing it $38.17, and, as so modified, is affirmed, without costs.
