Head Matter:
HACKETT, Respondent, v. METROPOLITAN ST. R. CO., Appellant.
(City Court of New York,
General Term.
May 26, 1899.)
Action by Lucy Haekett against the Metropolitan Railroad Company. There was a judgment for plaintiff, and defendant appeals.
Affirmed.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Judgment affirmed, with costs. The evidence shows that in crossing the defendant's tracks the plaintiff exercised due caution. The injuries complained of were severe. The verdict was a reasonable one. These injuries were caused by defendant's negligence in turning the corner at Fifty-Third street west and Ninth avenue. The evidence shows that defendant's car was going very fast,—in fact, unreasonably fast,—thus running down plaintiff and injuring her.
