Garrigan v. Berry

Opinion of the Court

Bigelow, C. J.

There being no statute regulating the manner in which persons should drive when- they meet at the junction of two streets, the rule of the common law applies, and each person is to use due and reasonable care, adapted to the circumstances and place. The instructions were in conformity to this principle, and if there has been any error it has been in ’¡he finding of the jury. Exceptions overruled.
