Head Matter:
Elizabeth McGreevy, Appellant, v. Third Avenue Transit Corporation, Respondent.

Opinion:
The court's charge with respect to the rules of contributory negligence was improper and prejudicial to plaintiff. As it cannot be said that plaintiff was guilty of contributory negligence as a matter of law, the judgment is unanimously reversed, because of said error, and a new trial ordered, with costs to the appellant to abide the event.
