1. ““If there was any credible evidence which reasonably admitted of inferences sufficient to sustain the jury’s finding then what were the proper inferences to be drawn was for the jury, and its findings could not be discarded by the court, although a new trial could have been granted on that ground in the exercise of the court’s discretion in the interests of justice.” Webster v. Krembs, 230 Wis. 252, 256 , 282 N. W. 564 .”

2. ““Krembs’ acts and omissions, which constituted the negligence in question, were committed within but three or four seconds immediately preceding the impact. They were not a continuance or repetition of similar negligence on his part, because of which there was occasion or opportunity for Zilphia A. Webster to protest or leave the car to avoid injury; and the acts or omissions were of such nature that there was an actionable increase in the risk of injury to her.””
