The plaintiff, who was Injured, brought an against "A," "B" and "C." It was admitted that "B" and "C" were negligent, and judgment was gi ven against them. But neither "B" nor "C" had any means to satisfy the judgment. 8o the question arose whether “A” was llable!

When it trans- pired that I was not the owner of the car who was responsible for, the accident, but someone to whom he had lent it or, more strictly yet a third person the insurance company not unnatur- ally repudiated liability.
