1Opinion of the CourtMonks, J.
This action was brought by appellee, a motorman on one of appellant’s street-cars, to recover damages for personal injuries sustained when his car left the track. The action was based on the theory that the street-ear left the track because the rotten ties gave way, and that appellant had knowledge of the condition of the track and the ties in time to repair them, but that appellee had no knowledge of such defective condition.
A trial of the cause resulted in a- verdict in favor of appellee, and over a motion for a new trial judgment was rendered in his favor.
