Co., 40 Vt. 88 ; McPadden v. New * 1 C. & P. 251. 520 THE LAW OP CARRIERS. an action against a coach proprietor by a passenger for injury done to him in consequence of the overturning of the coach, the declaration stated that the defendant negligently " drove, conducted, and managed the coach ; " and it was held that, as the negligence of the defendant was in sending out an in- sufficient coach, the plaintiff was not entitled to recover. Sec. 500. Evidence of Negligence in Case of Accident. — W...here a passenger pays his fare, he is entitled to expect rea- sonable accommodation, and, as in the case of stage-coaches the number of passengers to be carried is, as we have seen, regulated by statute, the courts have, of course, discouraged any breach of this statutory duty, and the way they have done this is by deciding what shall be evidence of negligence in case of accident. Christie v. Griggs 1 decided that it is primd facie enough to prove negligence, if evidence is given of the coach having broken down ; but if evidence is given that at the time of the accident there were more passengers in the coach than the statute allows, it is conclusive proof of negligence upon the part of the proprietor.
