RAILROADS. LIABILITY
A Dsmsge Suit Reversed by the Su.
preme Court
The Case of Infant Cunningham Against
the Los Angeles Railway Com
pany to Be Tried Over.

A decision received here yesterday
from the court settles some questions
regarding the liability of street car
companies for damages for injuries. This
was the case of David Cunningham, Il
minor, against the Los Angeles Rail-
way company. The company had ap-
pealed from the judgment Of the SUI
perior court. The supreme court re-
verses the decision of Judge Shaw and
awards the railroad company new
trial. The plaintiff, baby year and
half old, wandered from the home Of
his parents in this city into the street
whereon was an electric railway track.
A car struck the baby, injured him and
damage suit was brought in the in
fants name, the trial resulting in
Judgment against the company.
Judge Shaw denied new trial. Tie
Jury was instructed that in determin-
ing whether the defendant was or was
not negligent in falling to stop the car
in time to avoid the accident it had no
right TO take into consideration the fact
that the motorman had been working
only twelve days on the road and was
a raw hand, according to his own testi-
mony.
There was no direct issue upon the
question whether the defendant had
been guilty of employing incompetent
servants. the question being whether
the child was injured through the ac-
tual negligence of defendants servants
on the occasion in question. 1t was OBJ
jected that the instruction was errone-
Gus, as submitting to the jury an ele-
ment which could have no bearing upon
the question: of the negligence of the
company under the circumstances, and
in the opinion of the supreme court the
objection must be sustained. The sole
question was what was the conduct of
the mOtorman at the time, and this was
to be unembarrassed by any considera-
tion of his general qualifications.
The trial court also charged the jury
that it was the duty of the company to
provide safe, skillful, watchful and
competent agents and servants to man
age the same" 1t was objected that
this required more than ordinary care
at the hands Of the company that to re-
quire 1t to provide safe servants, is, in
effect to make it an insurer of their
character for fitness. while as to plain
tiff. it is not such. The supreme court
holds that the company was called upon
to exercise only ordinary care, and the
jury should have been so informed. In
his qualification the instruction was de-
ficient.
The court says that the trial Judge
should not have charged that the law
does not require parents to keep an at
tendant with their young children, and
are not required to keep them cooped
up. Though true in the abstract, the
question as to what precautions were
necessary were facts for the jury to de-
termine. The judgment of the lower
court was reversed
