Head Matter:
David Solomon, Appellant, v. The Third Avenue Railroad Company, Respondent.
Appeal from a judgment rendered in favor of the defendant in the Municipal Court of the city of New York, fifth district, borough of Manhattan.
A. H. Sarasohn, for appellant.
Hoadly, Lauterbach & Johnson, for respondent.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
The testimony of the plaintiff and his one witness was sufficient to make a prima facie case, and the case should, therefore, have been heard on the merits. The evidence tends to show that the ear stopped on plaintiff's signal, and was started again without affording a reasonable opportunity for him to board it.
