Head Matter:
Margaret T. O’Neill vs. S. S. Kresge Company.
October 25, 1944.

Opinion:
Exceptions overruled. The plaintiff sustained bodily injury in the defendant's retail store when another woman, apparently a customer, pushed against her a gocart containing a child. No regulation of the defendant prohibited such vehicles in the store. There was no evidence of fault on the part of the defendant unless its failure to exclude such vehicles from its store was evidence of fault. We think it was not. Cutler v.
