Goodman v. Delaware & Hudson Canal Co.
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided April 8, 1895 · Green, McCollum, Mitchell, Stekrett, Williams
167 Pa. 332; 31 A. 670; 1895 Pa. LEXIS 905

Goodman v. Delaware & Hudson Canal Co.

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam,

To have directed a verdict for the defendant company, as requested in its 11th point, would have been manifest error. The testimony tending to prove that defendant’s negligence was the proximate cause of plaintiff’s injury was quite sufficient to not only carry the case to the jury, but to justify them in finding as they did. The case was carefully and ably tried. There appears to be nothing whatever in the record to justify a reversal of the judgment.

Judgment affirmed.
