Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Automobile — Negligence—Personal Injuries■ — Evidence. Evidence that while an automobile, operated by the owners in connection with their business as common carriers, was being driven on a city street at the rate of twenty-five to thirty miles an hour, two dogs ran in front of it; that the driver changed his course slightly to avoid the first one; and that the car ran into the other one, causing the overturning of the car, is sufficient, in an action against the owners brought by a passenger who was thereby injured, to sustain a finding of actionable negligence on the part of the defendants.</p> <p>2. Same — Verdict Not Excessive. An allowance of $1,500 for pain and suffering on account of the injuries received by the plaintiff in such a case is held not to have been so excessive as necessarily to show passion or prejudice.</p>
