Harvey v. Eastern Railroad Co.

116 Mass. 269 | Mass. | 1874

Gray, C. J.

The jury, if they were governed by the instruction of the court, have found that the plaintiff attempted to get upon the train after it had started and while it was in motion. Such an attempt, in the absence of evidence of any circumstance's tending to excuse it, conclusively showed, as matter of law, that the plaintiff was not in the exercise of due care.

Exceptions overruled.
