Hartman v. Reading & Pottsville Railroad

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam :

"We cannot discover anything in the assignments of error which requires a reversal of this case. Undoubtedly, when a jury have viewed and examined the premises, their own observation, as the learned judge well said, is just as good as that of any of the witnesses, and while they are not to disregard the testimony produced on the trial, they are, nevertheless, not required to repudiate the evidence of their own senses.

The judgment is affirmed.
