The petition of the appellant, Mrs. Belle Forsythe, states that in May 1927, while she was walking on a sidewalk in the town of Lebanon Junction, the appellee’s son, under 14 years of age, with gross negligence ran into her with a bicycle he was then riding, and severely and permanently injured her. On the same day, in consideration of the plaintiff not suing the defendant for damages thus sustained, he “entered into an agreement that he (the defendant) would pay all expenses incurred by plaintiff in the proper treatment of said injuries.”…
