Opinion

Per Curiam :

We see no error in the rejection of the evidence, nor in the charge of the court. If the defendant in error did violate an ordinance of the city, that violation was not a proximate cause of the injury. It is the duty of the owner of a horse not to voluntarily permit it to run on the sidewalk of a public street. When so found, he must rebut the presumption of negligence arising therefrom.

Judgment affirmed.
