Francis v. Richmond & D. R. Co.

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
Francis v. Richmond & D. R. Co., 83 F. 1021 (4th Cir. 1897)
28 C.C.A. 681; 1897 U.S. App. LEXIS 2165

Francis v. Richmond & D. R. Co.

Opinion of the Court

BRAWLEY, District Judge.

We do not find in the record in this case any testimony from which fair-minded men could justly conclude that the defendant company was guilty of negligence, and according to the principles which we have laid down in Patton v. Railway Co., 82 Fed. 979, a case heard at the same term, we are of opinion that there was no error in directing a verdict for the defendant. The judgment of the court below is affirmed.
