Indiana Supreme Court May 15, 1883, No. 9872 (Simons v. Gaynor)

Elliott, J.

The appellee, while walking across one of the public streets of the city of Huntington, was struck and injured by a horse which the appellant was riding.

The fact that a footman undertakes to cross a street at a place other than the regular crossings for footmen will not, of itself, defeat an action for injuries caused by a horseman’s negligently riding against him.
