Law Court Upholds
Verdict of Jury
Against r. p. Hazard

The verdicts of the jury were up
held by the ruling of the law court
in the cases Of American Mutual Liza
bility Insurance Co. VS.. Louis f.
Whitman and of Louis L. Witham vs..
r. p. Hazard, which were tried at
the September term of the superior
court. A verdict for the defendant in
the first case and of $524 for the plain
tiff in the second case was returned at
that time. The case was then taken
to the law court on motion by the at
torneys for the insurance company
and Mr.. Hazard. -
This case was in effect counter
suit. 1t resulted from a collision on
June II, 1928. on the Brunswick road
about four miles from Gardiner. in
which automobiles owned by Witham
and Hazard collided. Each claimed
that his car was on its own side OF
the road and that the other was at
fault. Mr.. Hazard assigned his claim
to the insurance company which had
covered his auto.
The rescript, which was drawn by
Justice Barnes. follows:
"These cases involve the law of the
road and irreconsilably conflicting tes-
timony. Both plaintiffs insist that
their cars were each we'll to its drlV-
er's right of the middle of the tray
elled part of the way when the COLI
sion occurred.
THAT party was at his left of the
road at the time of collision is strong
evidence of carelessness, and, unex-
planned and uncontrolled, conclusive
evidence of carelcssness, held to be
the law.
THE jury found for the defendant
in the former; and awarded damages
not now claimed to be excessive, 70
the plaintiff in the latter cases. we
cannot conclude that either verdlct
is so clearly wrong as to require the
court to set it aside.
