 A rescript has been handed down by | Judge Charles w. Barrows of the su- perior court sustaining the jury verdict | in the case of Frank l.. Holiday against I WY ,;al, !, awarded $650. Mir. Holiday was driving his automobile and collided with rope stretched across the highway where re- 1 pairs were in progress at the corner of | Elm and Broad streets. He did not see | the rope, which was an inch or more in l diameter, and five feet from the ground. The town asked for new trial on the ground that the jury erred in finding that the plaintiff was not guilty of contribu- l tory negligence. Upon this point Judge 1 Barrows in his rescript says:
 Tn our mind, after viewing the prem l ises and hearing the testimony, we were l left in a state of uncertainty as to whether the plaintiff ought in the exer- l else of due care to have seen the rope. | and under these circumstances we deem l ed it proper to submit the question to the 1 jury. The finding of the jury has been that the plaintiff was not guilty of con- , tributory negligence and we are not suf- ] fciently certain that the jury was wrong | to warrant us in overturning the de- cison."
