    Error to Van Burén Circuit.
    This was an action to recover damages for injuries sustained by plaintiff in error while in the employ of defendant in error as brakeman and engaged in coupling freight cars. The ground upon which a recovery was sought was, negligence on the part of the company in not furnishing for plaintiff’s use safe and properly constructed freight cars. The defect ascribed to the cars is not unsoundness or want of repairs, but the complaint is that one was lower than the others, and that for that reason the chances of injury in coupling were increased. The court below directed a verdict for the defendant, and the plaintiff brought error.
