Decision Date | 06 March 1934 |
Docket Number | 1314 |
Citation | 153 So. 322 |
Parties | PLUMMER v. GULF, M. & N. R. CO. et al. HAMPTON v. SAME |
Court | Court of Appeal of Louisiana — District of US |
Ponder & Ponder, of Amite, for appellants.
Benj. W. Miller, of Bogalusa, for appellees.
The two plaintiffs above named, while riding in a truck as guests of George Rouse, were injured in a collision of the truck with a passenger coach which was across a switch track of defendant railroad company.
Suits were brought by these plaintiffs in damages against George Rouse and defendant company, which resulted in judgments rendered against George Rouse who has not appealed; also in a judgment in favor of defendant company rejecting the demands of plaintiffs against it, from which these plaintiffs have appealed.
Our opinion will therefore be restricted to the issues involved in the two suits of these plaintiffs against defendant railroad company, which were consolidated below for trial and which were disposed of by the district judge for reasons given in one opinion and adversely to the contentions of these plaintiffs.
In these two cases, the defendant company filed exceptions of no right of action, which the court overruled, and in which we find no error.
Merits.
The district court rejected the demands of the plaintiffs for the reasons given in its opinion, as follows:
