Rollison v. Hicks

Tbe exception to tbe refusal of tbe trial court to dismiss tbe action upon a compulsory nonsuit raises tbis question at tbe tbresbold of tbe appeal: Was tbe evidence introduced by plaintiff at the trial sufficient to carry tbe case to the jury, and to support its finding on tbe first issue, i.e., that tbe plaintiff was injured by tbe actionable negligence of tbe defendant?

Tbe plaintiff’s case is predicated on tbe theory that tbe defendant drove tbe truck at an excessive speed in a place outside a business or residential district, and thereby proximately caused personal injury to the plaintiff.
