Per Curiam:
As the front of the automobile passed the injured boy without touching him, according to the testimony of all of the eye-witnesses, considering the testimony of defendants’ *269disinterested witnesses and the probabilities of the case, we are of the opinion that the finding of negligence is clearly against the weight of the evidence. As to the defendant Florence Goldstein there was no evidence upon which liability could be predicated other than her ownership of the car. The undisputed testimony established that at the time of the accident she was in bed at her home and that her husband was operating the automobile for his own purposes.
The judgment is reversed, with costs, and the complaint dismissed as to appellant Florence Goldstein. The judgment against the appellant Abraham Goldstein is reversed and a new trial ordered, with costs to said appellant to abide the event.
Present — Clarke, P. J., Laughlin, Dowling, Shearn and Merrell, JJ.
