The defendant called out to the plaintiff, but it was not till the very moment of the accident. The wised of the change went over his kg. The defendant theta drew up; he said he was sorry for the accident, and drove 011 again. The road is wide enough to admit of two or three carriages p rising and there was nothing nil it at the time to prevent the delemlatit front turning out of the way. Mr. ftirryat, for the defendant, contended that no negligence was imputable to bent, and consequently that he was not liable to damages, The Lord Chief Jostler said, that persons driving on the road were bound to take care that they did not drive over a hers.
