61 So. 2d 378 (Fla. 1952)

Opinion

November 14, 1952.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Duval County, A.D. McNeill, J.

Marks, Gray, Yates Conroy and Harry T. Gray, Jacksonville, for appellant.

Cleveland Wayman, Jacksonville, for appellee.


This is an appeal from a final judgment awarding damages to a pedestrian who was struck by an automobile at a street intersection in the City of Jacksonville.

Questions presented here regarding defendant's negligence and plaintiff's contributory negligence were jury questions, and are final so far as review in this Court is concerned.

The charge on "sudden emergency" requested by the defendant was not applicable to the facts, and the trial judge properly declined to give it.

Affirmed.

SEBRING, C.J., and TERRELL and ROBERTS, JJ., concur.
