Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Automobiles — Collision—Damages—Permitting Jury to Inspect Automobile. There was no abuse of discretion in refusing to permit the jury to inspect the defendant’s automobile to discover whether it bore marks of an accident which occurred several months before the trial.</p> <p>2. Same — Duty of Driver — Statute—Argument of Counsel. The closing argument of counsel for the plaintiff as to the meaning of section 507 of the General Statutes of 1915, imposing certain duties upon the driver of an automobile in passing another on the highway, is held not to have been unreasonable or unfair.</p> <p>3. Same — Improper Conduct of Juror — No Prejudicial Error. The fact that one of the jurors, during a recess of the court, went and examined defendant’s ear, and stated in the jury room that he found certain marks upon it, is held under the facts in this case not to have furnished grounds for a new trial.</p>
