Enough appeared to warrant a finding that at the time of the accident the train, was running backward, on a considerable curve, in a city, and at a rate of speed forbidden by its ordinance. These facts would make a prima facie case under the statute. The jury believed it was not: overcome. All the instructions asked on behalf of the defendant were given, and we see no reason to expect a different result from another trial.\nJudgment affirmed.",
