1Opinion of the Court
SMYTH, Chief Justice.
These cases were tried together in the lower court, were submitted to us as one, and as such they will be disposed of.
A party of 30 boys and girls, accompanied by a married couple, were conveyed on a motor truck from Washington to Marlboro, where they attended a dance. After the dance, they returned on the truck to Washington. As they were crossing C street at the intersection of Eleventh, N. E., the truck was struck by an east-bound car of the defendant company, and thereby injuries were inflicted upon the two appellants. From a judgment against them, they appeal.
