Manila Electric operates an electric street railway in Manila and its suburbs, including the

municipality of Caloocan where Wright lives. Wright’s residence is in front of the street along
which Manila Electric’s tracks run, so that to enter his house he has to cross the tracks. On the
night of the accident, he drove home in a calesa and while crossing the tracks, the horse
stumbled and fell, causing the vehicle to collide with one of the rails. throwing Wright out of the
vehicle and causing him injuries.

At the point where Wright crossed the tracks, not only were the rails were above-ground, but the
ties upon which the rails rested projected from 1/3 to 1/2 of their depth out of the ground, thus
making the tops of the rails some 5 or 6 inches or more above the level of the street.

Wright thus brought an action against Manila Electric to recover damages for the injuries he
sustained in the accident. Manila Electric admits that it was negligent in maintaining its tracks,
but it contends that Wright was also negligent in that he was intoxicated to such an extent that
he was unable to take care of himself properly and that such intoxication was the primary cause
of the accident.
