    "head_matter": "Iva Dallas, Appellee, v. East St. Louis & Suburban Railway Company, Appellant.\n(Not to be reported in full.)\nAppeal from the Circuit Court of Madison county; the Hon. Louis Bernreuter, Judge, presiding. Heard in this court at the March term, 1916.\nReversed and remanded.\nOpinion filed November 13, 1916.\nRehearing denied January 13, 1917.\nStatement of the Case.\nAction by Iva Dallas, plaintiff, against East St. Louis & Suburban Railway Company, defendant, to recover for personal injuries received by falling off one of defendant\u2019s cars. From a judgment for plaintiff for $8,000, defendant appeals. For the case on a former appeal, see 188 Ill. App. 420.\nAbstract of the Decision.\nCarriers, \u00a7 476 \u2014when evidence is insufficient to sustain recovery for injuries resulting from sudden jerk of ear. In an action against a street car company for damages for injuries sustained by plaintiff in leaving its car, where the plaintiff stood practically alone in her testimony that the car after slowing down started up suddenly and gave a jerk which threw her off, and the evidence for the defendant greatly preponderated in showing that the car did not stop with a sudden jerk and that plaintiff did not stop in the vestibule of the car hut walked straight out and attempted to get off while the car was in motion, held that a verdict for the plaintiff was manifestly against the weight of the evidence.\nWilliamson, Burroughs & Ryder, for appellant.\nGeers & Geers, for appellee.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section number."
