The opinion of the court was delivered by Plaintiff, a five-year-old boy, was struck by a taxicab while in a crosswalk in an emergency entrance driveway to the Sedgwick County Hospital. He brought this action รข€” by his mother as next friend รข€” against the cab company and its driver to recover for his personal injuries. The pleadings need not be detailed. They contained the usual allegations of negligence and denials. The petition sought recovery in the amount of $52,000. Subsequently, by permission of the court, it was amended by increasing the prayer to $92,000. No special findings were requested. The jury returned a general verdict for $61,000. It was approved. Defendants' motion for a new trial was overruled and judgment was entered upon the verdict. Defendants have appealed from all adverse orders and contend they are entitled to a new trial because of four grounds of alleged error.
