Action to recover damages for the destruction of the plaintiff’s automobile through collision with a trolley-car of the defendant, alleged to have been caused by its negligence, brought to the Superior Court in New London County and tried to the jury before Shumway, J.; verdict for the plaintiffs for $1,100, which the trial judge set asidé as against the evidence, and appeal by the plaintiffs.
No error.
.Hadlai A. Hall and Charles Hadlai Hull, for the appellants (plaintiffs).
Michael Kenealy, for appellee (defendant).

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
The evidence so clearly failed to show that the injury complained of was caused by the defendant's negligence, and that the plaintiffs' own negligence was not a proximate cause of it, that there was no error in setting the verdict aside.
There is no error.
