Syllabus

<p>Municipal Corporations—Automobile—Injuries to Pedestrian— Chauffeur’s License—Violation of Statutes—Negligence Per se —Proximate Cause.</p> <p>Though the operation of an automobile on the streets of a city by a person without a license issued by the Secretary of State, as required by statute, is negligence per se, such negligence is not in itself sufficient to justify a recovery for injuries to a child struck by the automobile, where there was no actual connection between the absence of the license and the injury.</p>
