1Opinion of the CourtShinn, J.
In this action, brought by the widow and children of Mitchell Foti to recover damages for his alleged wrongful death, defendants prevailed in a jury trial and plaintiffs appeal. Upon the appeal it is contended that the evidence established as a matter of law the negligence of defendant James P. Morrissey, who was driving the automobile of William J. Morrissey with the latter’s consent when it struck and fatally injured deceased; also that there was no evidence whatever that deceased was guilty of contributory negligence. Certain claims of error are predicated upon the giving of instructions.
