Syllabus

<p>STREET RAILWAYS.</p> <p>1. More Than Ordinary Care in Operation of Street Car on Street Where Children Congregate.</p> <p>In an action for damages against a traction company for Injuries sustained by a child run over while playing in the street, a request to charge the jury, “That a street railway company in the operation of its cars upon the public streets is required to exercise more care at those places where children congregate and play than is ordinarily required,” should not be given, for “ordinary care” is the standard, and not “more care than is ordinarily required.”</p> <p>2. Matters Omitted Must Render Charge Misleading.</p> <p>A general exception to the court’s charge does not go to matters omitted, unless such omission renders the charge misleading.</p>
