   Lumpkin, P. J.

One who deliberately and intentionally drove at night upon a-county bridge with the condition of which he was perfectly familiar, and who, according to his own testimony, knew that the bridge was dangerous because it had no guard-rails, was not, upon a petition alleging no negligence except, failure to erect such rails, entitled to recover for injuries occasioned solely by reason of their absence.

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concurring.
