Opinion by

Gawthrop, J.,

Plaintiff alleged that while she was standing on the platform of one of defendant’s cars and was in the act of getting off after it had been brought to a stop, it made a sudden and violent movement and came to a sudden -and violent stop; that she had no notice or warning that the car would be so suddenly and violently started and stopped; and that in consequence thereof she was thrown to the floor and injured. At the trial the court entered a non-suit and from the refusal to strike it off we have this appeal.
