   Opinion by

Cunningham, J.,

This is a companion appeal with that taken to No. 192, October T., 1927, and is by the defendant from the judgment entered in favor of William Freed, the minor cMld referred to in our opinion tMs day filed at that number. We there stated our reasons for approving the finding of the trial judge with respect to defendant’s liability. The award of $200 to the minor does not seem to include any amount for loss of wages or medical expenses, items which Ms mother would have been entitled to recover if she had been properly joined in the action.

The judgment in favor of William Freed is affirmed.
