PAULINE MULLINS, by Her Next Friend, A. M. MULLINS, v. LOUISVILLE & NASHVILLE RAILROAD COMPANY.
(Filed 23 December, 1925.)
Appeal by defendant from Finley, J., at April Term, 1925, of CHEROKEE.
Action for damages for personal injury caused by the negligence of the defendant. Yerdiet and judgment for the plaintiff and appeal by the defendant upon exceptions noted in the record.
J. D. Mcdlonee and Moody & Moody for plaintiff.
M. TF. Bell for defendant.

Opinion:
Pee Curiam.
Tbe plaintiff alleged tbat while in tbe act of descending from tbe platform of one of tbe defendant's cars ber foot was cangbt by a piece of tin or sheet iron which extended along tbe top and edge of tbe platform and tbat she was thereby thrown to tbe ground and injured. She alleged also tbat tbe proximate cause of ber injury was tbe negligence of tbe defendant in allowing tbe piece of metal to cup and project above tbe surface of tbe platform to which it was attached and in allowing tbe platform to become worn and unsafe.
During tbe trial tbe defendant entered of record several exceptions; but we have not discovered in any of them sufficient ground for a new trial. Tbe case seems to have been determined in accordance with recognized principles of law. No prejudicial error having been shown, tbe judgment will not be disturbed.
No error.
