Opinion

Argued October 8th, 1913

Decided November 8th, 1913.

ACTION to recover damages for injuries to the person and property of the plaintiff, alleged to have been caused by the defendant's negligence, brought to the Superior Court in Hartford County and tried to the jury before Case, J.; by direction of the court the jury returned a verdict for the defendant, from the judgment upon which the plaintiff appealed. No error.

Noble E. Pierce, for the appellant (plaintiff).

John T. Robinson, for the appellee (defendant).


The jury could not, upon the evidence presented in this case, reasonably have found that the plaintiff was free from negligence proximately contributing to produce the injuries complained of. A verdict for the defendant was therefore properly directed. Fay v. Hartford Springfield Street Ry. Co., 81 Conn. 330, 338, 71 A. 364.
