54 So. 189 | Ala. | 1911
Appellee, as a passenger, sued appellant, as a common carrier, to recover damages for personal injuries suffered by her in consequence of being thrown from one of appellant’s cars which she was attempting to board; such injuries being ascribed to-the alleged negligence of the servants of appellant in-charge of the car. The trial resulted in verdict and judgment for the plaintiff for $400. From such judgment this appeal is prosecuted.
The first four assignments of error go to the rulings of the trial court in sustaining objections to questions propounded by defendant to its own witnesses on the direct examination. There was no revisable error in any of these rulings. The court, could have allowed or refused any of them without committing a reversible-error. The questions were within the sound discretion
There Avas no error in the giving of charge 1, as requested by plaintiff. As applied to the issues and the evidence, it Avas both correct and proper. If it could be said to be misleading in any of its tendencies, as claimed by appellant, it should have been cured of such tendencies by counter charges by appellant — which Avas not attempted or requested.
Affirmed.
