Yorke v. Maynard

Miss Marcelle Denise Maynard, an infant, proceeding by her next friend, instituted an action against John L. Yorke for injuries she sustained as the result of an automobile accident. There were two trials of the case in the lower court. The first trial resulted in a verdict for the defendant. It was set aside by the court because it was of opinion that an erroneous instruction had been granted. A new trial was awarded which resulted in a verdict and judgment for the plaintiff of $1,000. It is to this judgment the present writ of error was awarded.
