Syllabus

<p>Negligence—Owner of Building—Injury to Child in Circular Entrance—Doctrine of Turntable Cases. An action against the owner of a building for personal injuries, sustained by a child in a “circular entrance,” cannot be maintained on the theory that the same was peculiarly attractive to children, and should have been watched or guarded, under the doctrine of the turntable cases; since that would have been impracticable with a device in constant use, and since the doctrine of the turntable cases is not to be extended.</p> <p>Pleadings—Complaint—Amendment—Discretion. It is within the discretion of the trial court to refuse to allow a third amended complaint to be filed, after having considered the original and two amended complaints, and having sustained a demurrer to the second amendment for want of sufficient facts.</p>
