FATHER PAYS OVER TOY GUN.

SHOT THAT HIT BOY IN THE EYE.

A parent who gives a child a dangerous toy and fails to see it is used only in circumstances which are safe is able for injury done by the toy.

This was the ruling of Mr. Justice Finlay in the High Court when he entered a verdict for £135 and costs against Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Alexander, of. Disraeli- road, Putney.

The claim was put forward by Patrick Hawley, aged 13, and his father, Mr. Peter Hawley, of War Seal-mansions; Putney.

Patrick Hawley suffered the loss of an eye due to the discharge of an air gun by the young son of Mr. and Mrs. Alexander, who fired, at a box young Hawley was carying.

"Mre: Alexander gave her son 38. to buy the gun, and she knew it was a dangerous thing," said Mr. Justice Finlay. "Mr. Alexander did not know the boy had the gun, and would not have approved if he had.

"I cannot doubt that in giving her son a 'thing which she knew to be dangerous the mother did so at her peril and she was bound to see that he used it in circumstances in which it could not cause damage to others.

"She told him not to take the gun into the street. There are many other things she ought to have done, and she might very well have locked the gun up and seen he only used it in circumstances, which were safe.

"No precautions were taken to prevent him using the gun in a dangerous way. Mrs. Alexander was, therefore, guilty of negli- gence."
