Syllabus

<p>1. An action for injuries received by a news boy permitted upon the cars of a street passenger railway to engage in selling his papers, is noi affected by the provisions of the act of April 4, 1868, P. L. 58, so as to limit his right of recovery to that of an employee.</p> <p>2. Though the liability of a corporation to exemplary damages for injuries occasioned by the wanton or wilful acts of its servants is clearly established, yet, where there is no evidence which would justify a finding that the wrongful act of the servant was the result of feelings of violence, outrage or reckless indifference, the question of exemplary damages should not be submitted.</p> <p>3.
