McLENNAN, P. j.,

dissents, upon the grounds: (1) That it is not shown by the evidence that the slipping of the handle bar, if it slipped, was the proximate cause of the accident. (2) That there is no probative evidence to show that the defendant knew or had occasion to know, in the exercise of the highest degree of care, that the pin which would have prevented the slipping of the handle bar was out of place.
