Ohl v. Bethlehem Township

Ohl v. Bethlehem Township
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided May 27, 1901 · Fell, McCollum, Mestrezat, Mitchell, Potter
199 Pa. 588; 49 A. 288; 1901 Pa. LEXIS 659

Ohl v. Bethlehem Township

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam,

In the case at bar the court below directed the jury to return a verdict for the defendant. The direction was founded upon the conclusion that the alleged negligence of the defendant was not the proximate cause of the injury the plaintiff received. The conclusion was supported by the testimony in the case and necessarily relieved the defendant from any liability arising from the plaintiff’s negligence. We therefore dismiss the specification of error.

Judgment affirmed.
