— The appellee brought this action against the appellant and her husband to recover damages to person and to property, alleged to have been sustained by appellee, by reason of the alleged negligent conduct of appellant in the driving and management of an automobile, whereby she ran into appellee, while he was riding a bicycle in a roadway in a public park in the city of Frankfort, thereby throwing him to the ground, breaking and destroying his said machine, injuring his clothing and inflicting upon appellee permanent bodily injuries. A sepárate demurrer to the complaint, interposed by the husband of appellant, was sustained, and thereafter said cause proceeded against appellant, as sole defendant.
The cause was submitted to a jury for trial which returned a verdict in favor of appellee and assessedlhis
Under this motion appellant presents the following: (1) Error in admitting certain testimony; (2) error in excluding certain offered testimony; (3) misconduct of counsel of prevailing party; (4) error in giving certain instructions; (5) excessive damages; (6) verdict not sustained by sufficient evidence; and (7) the verdict is contrary to law.
We shall consider the alleged errors in the' above order.
It is next urged that the court erred in sustaining-the objection by counsel for appellee to a question pro
This question was clearly incompetent. It was in no proper sense a cross-examination of the matter inquired about in the examination in chief. Also, this witness was not a defendant in this suit, and whether he had insurance protecting himself against loss while his wife was driving the car,, could make no difference. Had he been a defendant in this suit, upon the record before us, quite a different question would be presented. There was no error in this ruling.
Complaint is next, made of misconduct on the part of counsel for appellee, during the progress of the trial.
Appellant next insists that the damages awarded are excessive. In view of the injuries sustained, as shown by the record, we think the amount of the award quite moderate. Appellant certainly has no just ground of complaint as to the amount of the award in this case. There is ample evidence to support the verdict. It is not contrary to law, and the judgment is therefore affirmed.
