Hines v. Brown

The evidence in this case establishes- the original defendant’s negligence. Likewise it establishes the plaintiff’s responsibility for any negligence on the part of the additional defendant Boone. As her agent, acting in her presence and under her control, his negligence is imputable to her.

The nonsuit must be sustained, if at all, upon the ground that Boone’s negligence was one of the proximate causes of the accident, and that no reasonable inference to the contrary may be drawn from the facts in evidence.
