Morrison v. Perry

MOFFAT, Chief Justice.

This action was brought by the personal representative of John K. Spiers, deceased, to recover damages for his death.

The case was tried to the court sitting with a jury, resulting in a verdict for plaintiff.

Defendant appeals; plaintiff cross-appeals. At the close of plaintiff’s evidence, defendant interposed a motion for non-suit. This was denied. When both parties had rested, after all the evidence had been submitted, defendant moved the court for a directed verdict in favor of defendant. This motion was also denied. The matter went to the jury with the result indicated.
