Guy C. Christy, for appellant.

Robert E. Ashe and E. O. Golden, for appellee, were not heard.


Argued March 22, 1933.


This action was brought by the plaintiffs to recover damages on account of injuries sustained by the wife-plaintiff when the automobile in which she was riding with defendant Haney collided with the automobile driven by defendant Rising. The jury awarded $750 to James T. Sheasley and $3,500 to Mrs. Sheasley against Charles D. Haney, finding defendant Rising not guilty of negligence. Defendant Haney appeals from the refusal of a new trial and judgment non obstante veredicto. An examination of the record convinces us that the case was carefully tried; the various questions which arose as to the alleged negligence of the respective defendants were for the jury, and were laid before them in a full and correct charge in which we find no cause for reversal.

The judgments are affirmed.
