    Abstract of the Decision.
    1. Negligence, § 187*—when evidence is sufficient to show negligence of express company and lack of contributory negligence of pedestrian struck by wagon. In an action against a street railway company and an express company to recover for injuries to plaintiff, received while walking on a sidewalk, through a collision between a street car ^,nd an express wagon which caused the wagon to strike plaintiff, evidence examined and held sufficient to support a finding that the express company was guilty of negligence and that plaintiff was free from contributory negligence.
    2. Negligence, § 240
      
      —when refusal of instruction on test of negligence of driver of express wagon injuring pedestrian is proper. In an action against a street railway company and an express company to recover for personal injuries to plaintiff, received while he was walking on a sidewalk, through a collision between a street car and an express wagon which caused the wagon to strike plaintiff, it is not error to refuse an instruction making the test of the driver’s negligence whether or not he had knowledge that the plaintiff, on the sidewalk, might be injured.
