Description
WHITFIELD, C. J. -- The plaintiff in error brought an action in the Circuit Court for Duval County against the Electric Company to recover damages for personal injuries received by being knocked from the top of a passing freight car of a railroad company by a trolley wire of the defendant company projected over the railroad track. The particular negligence alleged is that the plaintiff "was struck by said trolley wire which the defendant had carelessly and negligently permitted to be and remain broken and loosened from its fastenings and to sag down and to be out of its proper place as aforesaid, and was by said trolley wire knocked off from said freight train" and injured. TRial was had on pleas not guilty and contributory negligence. The following demurrer to the evidence was interposed: "Come now the defendant, the jacksonville Electric Company, by Kay & Doggett, its attorneys, and demurs to the evidence herein introduced by and on behalf of the plaintiff, and says that said evidence is insufficient under the law upon which to base a recovery, and, therefore, this defendant prays judgment of the plaintiff thereon.
