1Opinion of the CourtMoore, J.
The plaintiff was a passenger on one of defendant’s cars, and was injured in alighting therefrom. It is her claim that when the car stopped she stepped from the car step to the pavement, and while so doing the car was started causing her to fall. Defendant claimed that plaintiff stepped from the car just before it came to a stop and while there was still enough motion to throw her off her balance. There was testimony to support each of these claims. The case was tried by a jury, and a verdict and judgment for $1,000 was obtained by the plaintiff. The case is brought here by writ of error.
