Syllabus

<p>Negligence — Automobiles—Ownership of truck — Presumption— Oral testimony — Evidence—Credibility — Case for jury — Master and servant.</p> <p>1. A delivery truck is presumed to be operated for its owner, and the credibility of oral testimony submitted to rebut that presumption, and to show that it was operated by a servant for his own pleasure, is for the jury.</p> <p>2. A rebuttable presumption of liability has the same probative force as if established by direct evidence, and it is for the jury to pass upon the credibility of witnesses offered to repel such presumption.</p>
