Opinion

Pee Curiam.

The evidence when considered in the light most favorable to plaintiff makes out a prima facie case of actionable negligence on the part of defendant. It does not show contributory-negligence on the part of plaintiff as a matter of law. The issues of negligence and contributory negligence were for the jury. The exceptions to admission of evidence and the charge of the court do not disclose error sufficiently prejudicial to warrant a new trial.

No error.
