Syllabus

<p>Appeal — Briefs—Time for Filins. An appeal will not be dismissed for failure to file briefs in time where the appellants’ brief was served July 6 and filed the following day, the respondent’s brief was served August 4th and filed August 10th, and the appellants’ reply brief was served August 28th and filed August 31st.</p> <p>Carriers — Regulation—Automobiles—Surety Bonds — Liability of Surety — City Limits. A surety bond covering the operation of an automobile for passengers for hire in cities of the first class does not cover accidents upon a public highway outside of the city limits.</p> <p>Highways — Use—-Negligence—Traffic Regulations— Violation. It is not negligence per se to fail to observe the traffic statute, Rem. Code, § 5562-26, requiring automobiles to keep to the right of the center of street intersections in turning to the right, where the accident resulted in injury to a passenger in a jitney, which skidded from the road in rounding a turn and passing another automobile going in the same direction; since the statute was passed to avoid collisions and injury to persons in the street, and the complaining party was not one for whose benefit the law was enacted.</p>
