    Kennebec County.
    Decided March 12, 1912.
    Action on the case to recover damages for personal injuries sustained by the plaintiff and caused by the alleged negligence of the defendant in operating one of its cars upon its right of way where it crosses a public highway.

Verdict for plaintiff for $1054.17. The defendant moved for a new trial.
    Motion overruled.
