Opinions

SCOTT, P. J.

The plaintiff’s own evidence clearly shows that he was guilty of contributory negligence. He saw the truck slowly approaching and had abundant opportunity to get out of its way. Instead of doing so he stood still and allowed himself to be injured.

The verdict should have been set aside, and the judgment should now be reversed, and a new trial granted, with costs to appellant to abide the event.

DOWLING, J., concurs.
