Hanauer Automobile Co. v. Evans

Opinion of the Court

SMITH, J.

Upon the authority of the Supreme Court in the recent case of Duffy v. Box Co. 81 Ohio St. 525, reversing Queen City Box Co. v. Duffy, 30 O. C. C. 819 (11 N. S. 69), the judgment of the trial court will be affirmed.

*663For aught that appears, the entire evidence not being set out in the bill of exceptions, we cannot say but that there was evidence upon which the court might properly charge as it did in those portions of the general charge complained of by plaintiff in error.

We do not think the court charged or intended to do so upon the doctrine of “last chance,” but merely called the attention of the jury to the duty that was upon the defendant if he saw the automobile approaching.

Finding no error in the record, the judgment is affirmed.
