In opening the case for the defendants, Mr. Macleod said that the car was proceeding eastward along Avenue Joffre in a perfectly ordinary way and going at about 20 miles an hour, a speed which, in the then state of the road was perfectly reasonable and~ permissible. The ricshas were proceeding on the same side of the road, between Route Cardinal "Mercier and Avenue clu Roi Albert, and the car was proposing to pass them in the usual way when the front ricsha was seen to pull across the road at a very sharp angle (It now appeared that plaintiff was going into a passage way leading to a house on the opposite side of the road).
