Chicago City Railway Co. v. Young

The sole ground upon which a reversal is sought, is that there is no evidence to sustain the verdict.

Unless the verdict is manifestly' against the evidence, and is to be attributed to the passion or prejudice of the jury, or to a misapprehension of the facts, the judgment should not be disturbed.

The deceased was a passenger on the car of the company, and it was its duty to carry him safely. If the death resulted from the carelessness of the servants of the company in the management of the car, or from defective track, or from an overloaded car, or from all combined, then the company is liable.
