"Not to be officially published."
Action by the Columbia Taxicab Company, a corporation, against J. E. Stroh. Judgment for plaintiff before a justice of the peace, but on appeal to the circuit court plaintiff was nonsuited, his motion to set aside nonsuit overruled, and he appeals. Reversed and remanded.
Guy A. Thompson and Marvin E. Boisseau, both of St. Louis, for appellant.
Clarence T. Case, Victor J. Miller, and George L. Stemmler, all of St. Louis, for respondent.
This is an action for damages where ordinance negligence is charged. The case originated before a justice of the peace in the city of St. Louis, by the plaintiff filing a statement before said justice, and at the trial in the justice court the plaintiff obtained judgment for the full amount sued for. Defendant appealed to the circuit court, and upon trial in the circuit court, and after hearing the evidence of both plaintiff and defendant, the court, by its action, forced plaintiff to take an involuntary nonsuit with leave to move to set the same aside. Plaintiff's motion to set aside the nonsuit was overruled and it appealed to this court. The real question then for this court to consider is whether or not the trial court should have permitted this case to go to the jury upon plaintiff's evidence. The statement filed in the justice court, setting forth the plaintiff's cause of action, is as follows:
