Clute, for plaintiff. appealed from judgment of Idington, J., 3 O.W.R. 510, dismissing without costs an action brought by plaintiff as the widow of John Doyle, who, while in the employment of defendants, which, she alleged, was caused by defendants’ negligence. The jury answered questions submitted to them in favor of plaintiff, but the Judge reserved for his own consideration the questions whether plaintiff was really the widow of John Doyle, and whether she was debarred from recovering by a release or releases given to defendants, and held that she was not the widow and was debarred. G. F. Shepley, K.C., for defendants, opposed appeal and moved to set aside the findings of the Jury. Not finished.
