Head Matter:
Joseph Maynard, as Guardian ad Litem of Joseph Maynard, Appellant, v. Charles Phillips, Respondent.
Supreme Court, Appellate Term, First Department,
November 29, 1933.
H. Edward Raiden [Bernard Braun of counsel], for the appellant.
E. Edan Spencer [Arthur N. Seiff of counsel], for the respondent.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
The question whether this infant plaintiff was sui juris was for the jury; and the jury were authorized to find that it was not contributory negligence for this six-year-old infant to cross the street without looking for defendant's automobile, which according to the plaintiff's proofs was almost a block away.
Judgment and order reversed, with costs, and judgment reinstated.
Levy and Callahan, JJ., concur.
