Action by Bernard R. Kelly against the Texas & New Orleans Railroad Company. There was a judgment for plaintiff, and defendant appealed to the Court of Civil Appeals, which certified certain questions to the Supreme Court. Questions answered.
Baker, Botts, Baker & Lovett, Andrews & Ball, and C. L. Carter, for appellant. Lovejoy & Malevinsky, for appellee.
This is a certified question from the Court of Civil Appeals of the First Supreme Judicial District. The statement and questions are as follows:
The honorable Court of Civil Appeals copied with the statement the pleadings and the entire charge of the court, but the certificate does not present any question based upon the pleadings, and involves only three paragraphs of the charge. We therefore omit the pleadings and all of the charge except the three paragraphs mentioned in the questions propounded.
