Forcinal v. Pittsburgh Railways Co.
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided November 11, 1957 · Arnold, Bell, Chidsey, Cohen, Jones
390 Pa. 421; 135 A.2d 746; 1957 Pa. LEXIS 299

Forcinal v. Pittsburgh Railways Co.

Opinion of the Court

Opinion

Per Curiam,

This appeal comes before us from the refusal of the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, en banc, to remove a compulsory nonsuit entered by the trial judge. After the introduction of plaintiffs evidence the trial judge entered the nonsuit because she found the plaintiff guilty of contributory negligence as a matter of law.

No useful purpose would be served by a detailed recital of the facts presented herein. After a complete review of the record we find no error in the determination of the trial judge or the refusal of the court en banc to remove the nonsuit.

Judgment affirmed.
