Head Matter:
John McGrath, Respondent, v. Jamaica Buses, Inc., et al., Appellants.

Opinion:
In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the appeal is from a judgment entered on a jury verdict. Respondent, a passenger on a bus owned by the corporate appellant and operated by the individual appellant, was injured when he fell to the floor as the bus started and while he was proceeding from the front toward a seat. Judgment reversed and a new trial granted, with costs to abide the event. The verdict was against the weight of the evidence. Nolan, P. J., Murphy, Ughetta, Hallinan and Kleinfeld, JJ., concur.
