Opinion of the Court
There was evidence for the jury, that Cronan was travelling on the Lord’s day for the sole purpose of visiting a sister whom he believed to be ill, and who was in fact an invalid, and that Farrell, at Cronan’s request, was driving him to Boston solely for that purpose. This is evidence that both were travelling on the Lord’s day from charity, within the meaning of the Pub. Sts. c. 98, § 3. Doyle v. Lynn Boston Railroad, 118 Mass. 195.
Exceptions overruled.
