What is outlined in the quote that follows?
'There must be reasonable evidence of negligence, but, where the thing is shown to be under the management of the defendant, or his servants, and the accident is such as, in the ordinary course of things, does not happen if those who have the management of the machinery use proper care, it affords reasonable evidence, in the absence of explanation of the defendant, that the accident arose from want of care'.

The quote outlines the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur (the thing speaks for itself), which allows for negligence to be inferred when an accident is caused by a thing under the defendant's control and that would not usually happen if proper care had been taken. This doctrine provides reasonable evidence of negligence, in the absence of an explanation from the defendant.
