Fanshaw v. Norfolk & Portsmouth Traction Co.
Supreme Court of Virginia
Error to a judgment of the Oourt of Law and Chancery of the city of Norfolk in an action of trespass on the ease. Judgment for the defendant. Plaintiff assigns error.
1Opinion of the CourtCardwell, J.
This action was brought to recover damages for personal injuries to the plaintiff alleged to have been sustained by reason of the negligence of the defendant company.
At the first trial there was a verdict of $1,000 in favor of the plaintiff, which was set aside, and at the second trial no evidence was introduced, and judgment was given for the defendant company; therefore, the sole question for our consideration is whether or not it was error to set aside the verdict of the jury at the first trial?
