Description
FIELD, J. The plaintiff, a minor, by her next friend, brought an action of tort against Robert Powdrell, a minor, another against Ethel Powdrell, his mother, and a third against Fred A. Powdrell, his father, to recover damages for personal injuries alleged to have been caused by the negligence of the minor defendant in driving an automobile owned by his mother. The cases were tried together by a Judge and a jury. There was a verdict for the defendant in the case against the father. In each of the other cases the defendants motion for a directed verdict was denied, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, and leave was reserved under the statute (G. L. c. 231, § 120) to enter a verdict for the defendant. The minor defendants motion for the entry of such a verdict was denied, but his mothers motion was granted. Exceptions of the defendant in the action against the minor and of the plaintiff in that against the mother bring these cases before us.
