    Tennessee Coach Company v. Snelling.
   Stephens, J.

1. The evidence is sufficient to authorize the inference that the plaintiff, who was a passenger on a bus operated by the defendant, sustained a severe shock to his nervous system, a severe strain upon Ms heart which caused him to become ill and rendered it necessary for Mm to be assisted to a hotel after he left the bus, and that his physical condition was permanently impaired and his capacity to work diminished, as a result of the driver of the bus operating it recklessly and while in a drunken condition and in such a manner as caused the plaintiff to fear that the bus would be wrecked; that the driver cursed the plaintiff after the plaintiff had remonstrated with him for his reckless driving; and that the injuries complained of occurred in the county in which the suit was brought.

Decided June 19, 1936.
