McFadden v. Lewis
January 8, 1931
J. V. MCFADDEN, AS MACK TRUCKING CO., APPELLANT,
v.
JOHN LEWIS, APPELLEE
Appeal from the District Court of the United States for the District of New Jersey; William Clark, Judge.
Before BUFFINGTON, WOOLLEY, and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.
BUFFINGTON, Circuit Judge.
In the court below, Lewis, the appellee, recovered a verdict and judgment against the appellant for damages caused, as was alleged, by the negligent driving of appellant's truck, which ran over him. On entry of judgment, this appeal was taken, and the sole question involved is whether the trial court erred in refusing to give the jury binding instructions to find for the defendant. No principles of law are involved. We have carefully studied the proofs and are of opinion they were such as necessitated the case to be sent to a jury.
The judgment is therefore affirmed.
