Fields v. Metropolitan Street Railway Co.

Plaintiff alleges that at a time when the relation of passenger and common carrier existed between her and defendant she was injured by the negligence of defendant and prays for the recovery of her resultant damages. The answer, in effect, is a general denial. The cause is here on the appeal of defendant from a judgment of $3750, recovered by plaintiff in the circuit court. The points relied on by defendant for a reversal of the judgment are alleged errors in the rulings on evidence and instructions, misconduct of counsel for plaintiff and that the verdict is excessive.
