Maltby v. Chicago & West Michigan Railway Co.
Michigan Supreme Court
Error to Muskegon. (Russell, J.) Case. Plaintiff brings error.
1Opinion of the CourtGraves, C. J.
On the 29th of September, 1881, the plaintiff was on his way to the city of Muskegon by the public road known as the Allegan, Muskegon & Traverse Bay State road, with a load of hay, and on passing over the defendant’s track where it crosses said road near the city, his load upset and he received injury. He attributed the occurrence to the unsafe condition of the south approach contiguous to the rail, and sued the company in this action for his damages. The circuit judge instructed the jury to-find in favor of the company. The grounds on which the ruling is defended will be briefly noticed.
