parently the proceeds of the operation of the city's street car system as an independent business. As to whether this was or was not prejudicial to the city was apparent to the trial court more clearly than it is made to us by this cold record. We note that counsel for the city did not ask any instruction from the court to the jury to disregard the observations of Mr. Tucker. Nevertheless, the court's remark, "Well, I guess Stone & Webster are not interested in this matter," seems to us to have been sufficient under the circumstances. We conclude that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in holding that this was not cause for a new trial.

Two other contentions are made and very briefly argued: (1) That the wife of Plastino, present at the trial, was guilty of such misconduct as to prejudice the rights of the city in the trial; and (2) that the verdict was excessive, as being prompted by passion and prejudice on the part of the jury. We think it sufficient to say that we have carefully examined both of these contentions, and are quite satisfied that there was no abuse of discretion on the part of the trial court in refusing to grant a new trial for either of such reasons.

The judgment is affirmed.

Fullerton, Main, Holcomb, and Mitchell, JJ., concur.

MACKINTOSH, J. (dissenting). The opinion of the majority says: "Just as Plastino was starting his machine to cross the pavement and street car tracks behind the north-bound street car, he looked north, to see if there were any cars approaching from that direction upon the west track, and did not see any, according to his testimony. It is, it must be conceded, somewhat difficult to arrive at the conclusion that he did not see any car approaching from that direction, since his view was unobstructed for a long distance to the north beyond the north-bound street car, and the fast-moving south-bound street car was then approaching from the north upon the west track about a block away."

The only objection I have to this statement is that, under the evidence, it is not "somewhat difficult to arrive at the conclusion that he did not see any car approaching from that direction," but that it is impossible to reach such a conclusion. He had stopped before attempting to cross a street 100 feet in width, upon which he had an unobstructed view for several hundred feet, and the testimony is that there was no other traffic on the street except the street car north-bound, and yet he says that, although he looked, he did not see the south-bound car. I cannot understand how his conduct can be other than negligent, as a matter of law. The only conclusion I can arrive at from this testimony is that he did not look, and under such circumstances as here surrounded him he must look. I therefore dissent from this opinion, and believe that judgment should have been entered for the appellant.
