[2 N.E.2d 537] Appeal from Supreme Court, Appellate Division,
Page 190
Appellants were passengers in a bus being operated upon a highway in this state. A Ford car, registered in the name of respondent in the state of Connecticut and being operated by respondent's son, a

minor over sixteen years of age, collided with the bus and caused injuries to appellants. The respondent's son died as a result of injuries received in the collision. Both respondent and his son were residents of the state of Connecticut.
There is no doubt that respondent intentionally registered the car in his own name with knowledge of the terms of the Connecticut statute hereafter quoted. Moreover, he took out a policy of liability insurance in his name. He was permitted to prove on the trial that the negotiations for the purchase of the car were carried on by his son; that his son paid the purchase price, the license fee, insurance premiums, and the other expenses of upkeep. The court charged the jury that proof that the registration was issued in his name was prima facie proof of his ownership, but that such proof was subject to rebuttal. It was left to the jury to determine whether the respondent was in fact the owner of the car. The jury rendered a verdict in favor of respondent. It is stipulated upon this appeal that the evidence was sufficient to justify the jury in finding that appellants were guilty of contributory negligence and that respondent's son was free from negligence. The only question, therefore, is whether the trial court was in error under the facts in this case in submitting to the jury the question of ownership of the Ford car.
