Mr. Presidihg Justice Holdom delivered the opinion of the court. 2. Carriers, § 476*—when evidence supports verdict in action for injuries. In an action to recover for personal injuries received in attempting to board a street car, evidence held to support a verdict for plaintiff. 3. Corporations—when■ original declaration considered as part of allegations against receivers substituted as parties.

An order of amendment in an action against a street railway company which provides that “all papers and proceedings herein be amended” by making certain persons, stated to be receivers of such company, party defendants, is sufficiently broad to include the amendment of all the papers then on file, pleas as well as declaration. 5.
