| Court | New Hampshire Supreme Court |
Transferred from Superior Court, Hillsborough County; Kivel, Judge.
Action on the case by Louis Roulias against George P. Crafts. Verdict for plaintiff. Transferred on defendant's exceptions to denial of his motion for directed verdict. Exceptions sustained.
James A. Broderick, of Manchester, for plaintiff.
Tuttle, Wyman & Starr, of Manchester, for defendant.
Although the evidence shows that the plaintiff was injured by the negligence of the defendant's chauffeur while driving the defendant's car, it also shows that he was driving it, not for the defendant, but on an errand of his own, that is, shows that he was acting for himself and not for the defendant when the accident happened; consequently the plaintiff cannot recover.
