1Opinion of the CourtJustice Sears

This action was brought by appellee to recover damages for personal injuries alleged to have been sustained by reason of negligence of appellant.

There was evidence from which the jury were fully warranted in finding that appellant drove its car up to and over the street crossing where appellee was injured without ringing any bell or giving any other warning of its approach, and that the headlight on the grip-car was dim. It could not be said that the finding of the verdict, as to negligence of appellant, was against the weight of the evidence. Nor is there any contention in this behalf.
