1Opinion of the CourtMorton, J.
This is an action of tort to recover for injuries sustained by the plaintiff in consequence of a collision of one of the defendant’s cars with a team which the plaintiff was driving whereby he was thrown off and injured. At the close of the evidence the defendant requested the judge to order a verdict for the defendant which the judge declined to do but submitted the case to the jury which returned a verdict for the plaintiff. The case is here on report. If judgment should have been ordered for the defendant it is to be so entered, otherwise judgment is to be entered on the verdict.
