Description

CROSBY, J. This action is brought to recover for personal injuries received by the plaintiff by being knocked down and run over by a horse which, the jury were warranted in finding, was owned by the defendant. There was evidence tending to show that the plaintiff at the time of the injury was seven years old and was sitting in a small cart near the inner edge of the sidewalk adjoining a vacant lot on Fellows street, in Boston, the cart having been drawn there by an older boy. The defendant was a junk dealer who occupied a yard on Fellows street, where junk was deposited, opposite the place of the accident; he had a large number of horses in his yard, where some of them were stabled, and others were kept elsewhere. On the day of the accident the horse in question was driven into the yard by one Cohen, a junk collector, who could be found to have been at that time in the employ of the defendant. Cohen took the bridle off the horse, fed him, and left him for other employees of the defendant to care for. There was a gate through which access could be had to the street. At the time of the accident the gate was left open. The horse with the wagon attached, but without a bridle, ran out of the yard and down Fellows street across the sidewalk, trampled upon the plaintiff and fell upon him. There was also evidence that the plaintiff just before the accident attempted to get out of the cart, but did not succeed in doing so before the horse came upon him and dragged him into the field.
