No. 23,296.\n(Not to be reported in full.)\nAppeal from the Superior Court of Cook county; the Hon. Clinton F. Irwin, Judge, presiding.\nHeard in the Branch Appellate Court at the March term, 1917.\nReversed and remanded.\nOpinion filed April 16, 1918.\nStatement of the Case.\nAction by John A. Todd, a minor, by John 0. Todd, his next friend, plaintiff, against Chicago Railways Company, defendant, to recover damages for personal injuries sustained while a passenger on defendant\u2019s car. From a judgment for plaintiff, defendant appeals. .\nThomas J. Symmes and Watsoh J. Ferry, for appellant; W. W. Gurley and J. R. Gutlliams, of counsel.\nAbstract of the Decisi\u00f3n.\n1. Carriers, \u00a7 484 \u2014when instruction on care required in conveying passengers is erroneous. In an action by*.a passenger to recover for personal injuries, it is reversible error to instruct, at plaintiff\u2019s request, that common carriers of passengers are required to do all that human care, vigilance and foresight can reasonably do, consistent with the character and mode of conveyance adopted, and the \u201cproper\u201d prosecution of the business, to prevent accidents to passengers, as the limitation of the degree of care contained in the instruction does not include the \u201cpractical\u201d operation of the road.\n2. Appeal and error, \u00a7 1644*\u2014when giving of improper instruction on care required of carrier not cured ly another instruction. In an action by a passenger to recover for personal injuries, error in giving, at plaintiff\u2019s requ\u00e9st, an instruction improperly defining the degree of care required of defendant is not cured by giving, at defendant\u2019s request, an instruction which defines it correctly.\nTimothy J. Fell, for appellee; Hermann P. Haase, of counsel.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section number."
