Opinion by

Mr. Chief Justice Moschziskeb,

There are two plaintiffs in this case, Andrew Pinter, who sued to recover damages suffered by him through physical injuries alleged to have been negligently inflicted by defendant corporation upon his minor son Charles, and the latter, who, by his “father and next friend,” sought damages on his own behalf.
