DiLeo v. Eastern Massachusetts Street Railway Co.

These were two actions of tort brought by the plaintiffs against the same defendant: one to recover for personal injuries received by the plaintiff in the first case while a passenger on one of the defendant’s cars, and the other, by her husband to recover for medical services and nursing expense incurred by him in consequence of said injuries to his wife. The cases were tried together. At the close of the evidence the court, upon motions by the defendant, ordered verdicts for the defendant, and the cases come before this court on the plaintiffs’ exceptions to that order.
