not have obtained damages. because
of his own contributory negligence.
But as applied TO chlldren-the child
in this case was five years old-the
court pronounces this rule:
"At the time of the injury PLAINTIFF
was Ave years and four months old.
We are OF the opinion that an infant
of this extremely tender age cannot
be charged with contributory negli-
gence. There comes a time in the life
of every child when the doing of an
act which results In injury to itself
may said TO be negligence, as a matter
of law, and there is a period between
that time and extreme youth when
the question OF whether or not the
child had sufficient intelligence to
appreciate the dangerous consequence
es liable to flow from it's act be-
however. that all reasonable minds
would agree that an infant but little
more than flve years of age could
not have sufficient Intelligence to be
charged with negligence, either as n
matter of law or as matter OF fact
1t may be difficult, perhaps impos-
sible, to point out the exact age at
which the question becomes one for
the jury. but ii is, we think, clear
that it has not arrived at I'VE years
and four months"
1t will be observed that under this
rule, even the jury will not be per-
mitted to deny damages to an injured

the imperative obligation of motor
lists to exercise every care to avoid

IL was very clear that the act Of the
injured child in crossing the street
without ordinary care contributed 70

that the motorist. though proceeding
slowly. had turned a corner without
blowing his horn. and ran into the

child of tender years because OF its
negligence. IL the motorist was also
negligent.
As pointed out in another case,
even a boy fifteen years OF age is
not subject to the same standards OF
care as persons OF mature age. II
such boy falls TO exercise all pre-
cautions in using the public streets,
this will not excuse motorist who
has himself been derelict in the OBJ
servance OF the requirements OF law
or common prudence under the cir
cumstances OF the particular case.
The facts In this case showed that
the boy was crossing q street inter
section on a bicycle. He saw a truck
approaching the crossing along the
intersecting street, about nifty feet
away. He paid no further attention
TO the truck. The driver OF the
truck made a sharp turn into the
through street, driving on the wrong
side. While there was thus a case
OF mutual negligence, the court re-
fused to apply the general rule deny
ing damages against a motorist in
cases OF mutual negligence.
In case that recently came before
United States court the agent for a
well known make OF car held a con-
tract Of agency that provided for can
collation. by either party at any time.
The manufacturer gave notice OF
cancellation at time when the agent
had a large number OF cars on hand.
The latter had mortgaged the cars to
bank. and the manufactures paid
the banks claim SO as to secure a re-
lease OF the lien. AS the agent re-
fused to give up the cars-though the
contract required him to do so upon
manufacturer insti-
tuated a replevin suit against the
agent. and thus obtained possession,
but the court required the manu-
facturer to repay the agent the
amount which the latter had paid on
account. This was about the eQuiva-
lent of the amount which the agent
had borrowed from the bank and
which the manufacturer had paid.
In this way the agent had been re-
imbursed twice for the amount which
he had paid on the cars. Suit was
then brought by the manufacturer
against the agent to recover the
amount advanced by IL to pay the
bank. The only defense relied upon
by the agent was the technical claim
that the previous litigation had in
volved all the rights of both parties.

In a recent Indiana case II is de
cided that where a railroad company
maintains an electric bell at a road
crossing to warn travellers OF on
coming trains. motorists have a right
to rely upon this in approaching the
crossing. II they approach the cross
ing with reasonable care. listening
for the bell. they have the right to
assume that the silence OF the bell
is an assurance of safety. Hence
failure to keep such a bell In work
ing order is such negligence as to
render the railroad company liable
to a motorist who attempted to cross
the tracks In the absence of warning.
and was struck by a passing train
The fact that the bell is maintained
voluntarily by the railroad company
does not alter the rule. In other
states. however. the rule is qualified
to the extent of requiring the motor
list to assure himself by listening and
looking for trains before entering upon
the tracks regardless OF safety devices
located at the crossing.

and that therefore the matter was
closed.
II Is a general principle of law
that the same matter cannot be liti-
gated twice. But the court refused
TO apply this technical rule TO the
present case.

They do not treat their notes with
