Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>Personal Injuries — Negligence in Operating Street-cars — Inference by the Jury. It is not error to submit to the jury in a collision case the question whether it was negligence for an electric car to he run upon a designated street of the city in which the trial is had at the rate of twelve to fifteen miles an hour, although no showing is made of any ordinance affecting the matter, or of what speed was usual, or of the extent of business ordinarily carried on at the place of injury. In considering such question the jury may without evidence take notice in a general way of the amount and character of the traffic carried on upon such street.</p>
