1Opinion of the Court
PHILLIPS, Chief Judge.
The appellant, Betty Basham, 1 brought an action for damages against City Bus Company 2 and another for personal injuries allegedly sustained by her as the result of a fall in the interior of the Bus Company’s bus, while she was a fare-paying passenger on such bus. From a judgment on a verdict for the Bus Company, she has appealed.
Neither of the parties brought up the evidence adduced at the trial.
Plaintiff asserts that the trial court erred in the giving of certain instructions, in that they were not justified by the evidence and were contrary to law.
