• 81 S.C. 271

Syllabus

<p>1. Carrier — Passenger.—A railroad company is not bound to provide a safe place for passengers to get on and off on both sides of its trains at its stations, nor to keep a lookout on both sides, unless it expressly or impliedly invites passengers to so use both sides. That the company knows that some passengers now and then use both sides will not show an implied invitation.</p> <p>2. Ibid. — Ibid.—-One who has become a passenger by purchasing a ticket on the station premises with the bona fide intention of boarding a train then nearly due, is only entitled to the care due a passenger while he remains on the premises and in the places provided by the carrier for the accommodation of passengers or in such places as the carrier has expressly or impliedly invited passengers to use.</p> <p>3. Ibid. — Licensee—Charge.—Under the evidence in this case, it was not prejudicial error to appellant to instruct jury as to care due by carrier to licensee.</p>
