Taylor V. Rupert Pole

THE COURT. Plaintiffs, husband and wife, brought this action to recover for injuries to person and property sustained when the automobile in which they were riding was struck by a machine driven by Rupert Pole, a minor. The accident occurred on July 22, 1937. Plaintiffs' car was stopped in traffic on a steep grade, and was struck from the rear by the automobile driven by defendant Pole, traveling at a rate of from ten to twenty miles an hour. The trial took place in June, 1938. The jury found for the plaintiffs, assessing Mae M. Taylor's damages at $650 and "Austin H. Taylor's damages at o." Plaintiffs' motion for a new trial was denied as to Mrs. Taylor, and conditionally "denied  as to Austin H. Taylor in the event defendants pay into court $117.64 for the plaintiffs; otherwise granted as to him." The defendants paid the required sum into court.
