Syllabus

<p>1. Contributory Negligence. — The request of the defendant to charge upon the doctrine of contributory negligence was unsound, in that it did not include the rule that the negligence of the plaintiff’ must contribute as a proximate and immediate cause of the injury. Long v. Ry., 50 S. C., S3, distinguished from this.</p> <p>2. Ibid. — Charge.—Judge did not neglect to charge on contributory negligence, but if more particular instructions were desired, they should have been embodied in sound requests.</p>
