1Opinion of the CourtRoby, J.
1. Action by appellant for damages averred to have been caused by his wrongful expulsion from one of appellee’s trains. The ease was submitted to a jury, and at the conclusion of the evidence appellee moved for a peremptory instruction in its favor. Such motion was sustained, and a verdict was returned accordingly, upon which judgment was rendered. The appellant filed a motion for a new trial, stating as reasons therefor that the verdict was contrary to law, that it was not sustained by sufficient evidence, and that the court erred in instructing the jury to return a verdict for the defendant.
