Citizens Passenger Railway Co. v. Costigan
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
Citizens Passenger Railway Co. v. Costigan, 4 Sadler 161 (Pa. 1886)
7 A. 91; 1886 Pa. LEXIS 914
Citizens Passenger Railway Co. v. Costigan
Opinion of the Court
The plaintiff in error complains of the court’s answer to its sixth point, which is as follows: “That aside from the testimony of John Boehm, no evidence in this case would justify a verdict in favor of the plaintiff; and if they find his testimony to be untrue, the verdict should be for the defendant.” The-court answered that this would be true if the jury found no other-evidence of the defendant’s negligence. This answer was correct; for, on examination, we find that, other than that of Boehm, there was an abundance of evidence, of the driver’a negligence.
The judgment is affirmed.
