Anna Pfannes and Mildred Pfannes, Respondents, v. Winfred A. Adams and Clarence L. Chase, Appellants, and Others, Defendants.

The infant plaintiff was a passenger in an automobile that collided with a motor truck owned by defendant Adams and driven by defendant Chase. The infant plaintiff (who became of adult age before the trial) had a verdict for personal injuries based on the negligence of these defendants, and the mother a verdict for expenses and loss of services. Judgment unanimously affirmed, with costs. There was no prejudicial error in the refusal of the trial justice to charge as requested by defendants; and under the proof the verdict for personal injuries was not excessive.
