Giguere v. Yellow Cab Co.

This is an action of trespass on the case for negligence in which a jury in the superior court returned a verdict for the plaintiff for $900. The defendant’s motion for a new trial, based on the usual grounds, was denied by the trial justice. The case is before this court on defendant’s exception to this ruling, and on its exceptions to an order of the superior court consolidating this case, for the purpose of trial only, with another action of trespass on the case for negligence concerning the same accident, brought by this plaintiff against a different defendant.
