Holding

The primary question for our decision is the sufficiency of the evidence to sustain the verdict of the jury.

It is a settled rule of the law in this Commonwealth that a litigant, who comes before this court with a verdict of a jury and the judgment of the trial court in his favor, *611 is entitled to have the case reviewed in the light most favorable to him. If there is a conflict in the evidence upon material matters, the verdict of the jury resolves the conflict in favor of the litigant who prevails in the lower court.

In this case, the evidence is conflicting and, therefore, we must look to the evidence adduced by the plaintiff to judge of its sufficiency.
