Dowdy v. Georgia Railroad

Bleckley, C. J.,

dissenting. Where a footman in daylight, at a place used by the public as a passway for thirty years, steps upon a railroad track in front of an engine, but long enough to walk upon the track thirty feet before he is run down and killed, it is a question for the jury whether it was wantonness in the engineer not to give a signal for him to get off.
