Accident Feb. 10, 1949 The two actions arose out of the same accident, on King's Highway 4, north of Hensall, Feb. 10, 1949, when a car driven by 'Rev. William Matheson, Chesley, in which his wife was ° a pas- senger, was in a collision with a car driven by Donald Jeffs, Wing- harn, and owned by J. J. Evans, Wingham, who was fatally in- jured. The plaintiffs, Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Matheson, claimed total damages of $15,700, and Mr. and Mrs. Jeffs, $6,183.50. Donald Jeffs, driver of the Evans ear, testified he had a good view of the approaching Matheson car, the speed of which was the same es his, 30 miles, lie could not 'see the .centre of the road, nor where the shoulder started. There' was a gradual veering of the Matheson car to- ward the left. The other car was 50 feet away when he ap- plied his brakes, said the witness. Mrs. Bernice Jeffs testified the road was covered with snow, and she could not see the centre line. J. E. Hastings, automotive en- gineer, Toronto, called the colli- sion a three-quarter one. Stormy Weather Mrs, . William Matheson said she was seated in the front seat of a car driven by her husband. The weather. was stormy with intermittent squalls.

She gave her injuries as a fractured skull, fractured jawbone, bone, facial lacerations, loss of five lower teeth and broken upper denture. Due to the accident she had been deafened in one ear. Head -On Crash Ernest Chipdhase, farmer, near scene of the accident, gave ; evi- dence that the cars, after, were tightly together and overlapped by one-half width of each ear. Rev, William Matheson stated he had no recollection of the accident because of injuries to the base of his skull He said he had not the full use of his right eye, which does not focus properly; had jaw sand kneecap injuries; hospital and medical ex- penses totalled $1,191.66; out-of- pocket expenses included $235 for pulpit supply, to Rev. David Freeman, Philadelphia, He was afraid of the weather conditions, and could not say whether the road was slippery or not, Medical Evidence • Dr. W. A. Oakes, Clinton, who attended the Matheson and Mrs. Bernice Jeffs, said he knew of nothing that could be done for Mr. Matheson's right eye; his hearing was affected ten per cent; weakness in muscle of law might cause some difficulty in speaking; and disability to knee- cap is ten per cent. He "had a lot of pain, borne with great fortitude." s Mrs. Matheson, in Dr. Oakes' opinion, was more seriously in- jured, though she walked in to the hospital. There Is a three- quarter -inch distortion of jaw, fair mastication, she is distinctly deaf, and has a limitation of use of right wrist, John Traquhair, garage operat- or, Hensall, valued the Matheson car at $1,600 before the accident.
