Opinion of the Court
There is nothing in the plaintiff’s evidence that would have warranted the jury in rendering a verdict in his favor, and hence there was no error in entering the judgment of nonsuit, and refusing to take it off. Without some evidence, tending to prove that the injury complained of resulted from the defendant company’s negligence, the plaintiff had no right to ask that his case should be submitted to the jury.
Judgment affirmed.
