Damages Assessed Against Area Driver NAPANEE -- A Moscow area man, the plaintiff in a non-jury suit for damages resulting from an automobile accident two years ago, was awarded a total of $1,071.44 here this week. James David Holmes, 33, of RR 1, Moscow, was the plain- tiff on behalf of himself and his six-year-old daughter Julie, in a suit against William E. Taylor of Bowmanville. Judge J. C. Anderson of Belle- ville, ruled Taylor's negligence caused the accident involving Holmes' car Jan. 19, 1963. Holmes, who was driving to Port Perry at the time of the mishap just west of Bowman- ville at the intersection of High- way 401 and Waverley road, suf- fered an injured back and neck muscle, His daughter, who was four years old at the time, suf- seems to me I was off the high- way before he got passed me," Mr. Taylor replied. FOUND SKID MARKS The investigating officer, pro- vincial police constable How- ard Whight of the Bowmanville detachment, told the court he found at the scene of the acci- dent skid marks beginning 27 feet west of the Waverley road intersection, extending 4714 feet from the centre line to 'the north-west edge of the pave- ment. James Madden, local lawyer who acted for Taylor, suggest- ed his client had not interfered with the movement of Holmes' vehicle and that the skid marks which began 27 feet past the in- mechanically wrong with the Holmes' car. Mr, Wynn argued that the testimony of the police con- stable was not substantiated by other witnesses. CONTROL LACKING Judge Anderson declared that Taylor caused the accident be- cause he did not keep his car under control, he did not keep a proper lookout while entering the intersection and he failed to give the right of way. Damages were awarded as follows: General damages Holmes, $400; and to his daugh- ter, $150; repair bill for his car, $403.59; transportation costs between Napanee and Port Perry, $24.85; loss of two days' work as result of his injury, terseciton suggested something $32; and doctor bills, $61.50. fered a broken collarbone. Holmes' wife and 10-year-old son escaped injury when the car rolled over in the north ditch.

Taylor testified he had stop- ed when he saw the Holmes' car about a mile away, and had backed up onto the median before the Holmes' car reached him. VIEW BLOCKED He said a female passenger saw the Holmes' car first and called his attention to it. He told the court he did not see the Holmes' car first because his passenger blocked his view. During cross-examination of Taylor, Mr. Wynn _ suggested Taylor had not backed off the highway onto the median until after the Holmes' car had pass- ed by, "I suggest to you that you intended to back off but didn't have time before the Holmes' car arrived."
